I'm with the folks who are wondering at the police response. Aren't they trained to assess a situation? There is only one person in the room - which is an office and he's playing on the computer. Is their only training to throw people on the ground and pin them? Aren't they trained to simply ask questions and judge from body language and emotions whether this person is up to something, is armed or acting strange vs just a bystander.
I think this video is very disturbing. It shows we have incompetent police. We need to train them better. It's very easy to take a bunch of hefty fellows and give them guns and show them how to shoot people.
It takes more time to train them to assess situations, and approach people with dignity and respect. I think we should spend this time.
