obviously the cop who attacked the man with the dog should be in prison, but even the cop who was yelling that should be suspended.
- go over to the other person and speak softly, don’t yell and raise the temperature even higher.
- if you are going to yell something, phrase it in the positive: “restrain that dog.”
negative commands encourage push back; and that’s even assuming the “not” is heard. this is !%$ basic deescalation.
so much this ^
