      Absolutely. The “identify and neutralize threats” approach is a huge problem, but that’s not the strategy they use for escalation. They don’t flex overt authority to incite a reaction. They use manipulative tactics and false representation of the victim’s language or behavior to frustrate and confuse them into overreaction. I’ve been through enough deescalation training to recognize the inverse tactics they frequently use in altercations.

      We see the same escalation tactics in some European countries, where Police gets a 2-3 years training plus regular on the job training. They know exactly what and how they are doing it.
