    It’s kinda a no win situation especially when cops are trained to escalate the situation.

    I’m English, so I don’t know what USA police are like much, but surely your nation is not backward as to explicitly train police officers to escalate a situation?

      It was more a turn of phrase, me being spiteful, but there’s a few factors here, imo.

      1. Is that they aren’t really trained enough. At all.

      2. It could possibly be by design

      3. Escalation = more charges or more likely to drum up charges that will stick = more likely to collect money on your possible imprisonment and or fines.

      It’s profit. The police and criminal justice system are a sham here, and yes we are quite backwards.
