black-to-the-bones:

It’s the cops who need to learn how to behave around citizens and how to de-escalate the conflict peacefully. They have always thought that the only way to solve the situation is to tase a person or to beat him to death, or to shoot him. They are trained to do this, but never trained how to negotiate and help people in a peaceful way. Kids shouldn’t be taught how to interact with police, because no matter how polite you can be, you can always end up dead if the police officer fears for his life.
