In the States there is always racial tension and that stuff, but I've watched a lot of Cops and for some pretty serious situations where there are armed individuals, I've seen numerous times where some really good officers have told the suspects in a calm but firm manner, "put down the gun, son", without riling up the suspect. With adrenaline going it calms down all individuals and makes them think that what they've done is probably wrong. Idiots like this officer used escalating mannerisms and it cost the kid his life, when it wasn't necessary. Pretty sad.
