regarding these militarized training techniques that create these robotic, by the book,
responses. It's almost like brainwashing, hyper conditioning. We're seeing the results
of this type of training everyday on the news. It's epidemic! They lose their humanity
and their own unique and thoughtful means of addressing individual situations.

Anyone could have de-escalated this situation and apprehended him without weapons of
any kind. Just a human empathetic response and understanding.
