The fact there were multiple officers on the scene and not one of them stopped the arrest nor de-escalated the situation, nor in fact apparently knew the law betwixt all of them is even more disturbing. At that point it isn't one bad apple. It's a gang. We need some head crackers as police, unfortunate, yes, but this needs to be balanced by a different kind of personality. Going in guns blazing to every situation isn't the best way to handle things and is the root cause of many of these types of situations. Then the bureaucrat bosses just try to brush it all aside and nothing really gets resolved. We need less of those also. I think robots are the future of policing. But maybe not fully autonomous robots. More of a remote control type thing. Have people who are cultural sensitive, people who are empathetic, people who understand mental illness, people who understand the nuances of the law all in communication, watching and listening to the situation. See if you can deescalate, resolve, calm things down. If that doesn't work or there is immediate danger to bystanders give control over to the headcracker team. This would reduce costs anyway because right now you are paying grade school bullies to cruise around and interact infrequently with the public. These remote teams could perform a lot more interactions, one level of person could just monitor, perhaps control a number of bots, when the interaction escalates bring in the appropriate team for the situation. Make policing a work at home job:) Maybe have a Slack channel.
