My thoughts on the armchair analysis and what acceptance of the situation provides is De-escalation. If you have the suspect contained were the risk of injury to self and public is somewhat neutralized then you can act with improved skill.I'd have to watch the entire incident again for a Monday morning armchair quarterback report, but as I learned from my professor in my police academy classes, you must judge what is done from the eyes of the judged. I don't know his mindset, I wasn't there, so this was the only perception I saw from my living room.
