Anytime I’ve seen cops have to give verbal descalation it’s the most jumbled garbage of “hands up” “hands down”, “on your stomach”, “DOnT move”, “come towards us”, “where are your hands”, “don’t get up”, “crawl”, “walk to us”.

Also I spent a whole summer watching them misuse less lethals for crowd control.

So police reporting that they “attempted” verbal deescalation should be taken with a grain of salt.

Any evidence that happened in this case?

There was a bloody guy with a machete running around a residential neighborhood. Unless more details come out to support it, I'm not going to jump to conclusions that CPD are at fault.

Any evidence it didn't happen? The default should no longer be to believe a police press release.

What does that have to do with this instance exactly? Were you actually there?
