    Some police officers have been really great at de-escalating situations and working with crowd, media. Others not so much. #Ferguson

        @aterkel Why do you think that is? Do they have a different type of training? Empathy? Compassion? Can they show other cops how to be?

        @aterkel would be interesting to record what they are doing; ask questions of them maybe both sides can learn from it.

        @aterkel Those good cops should turn the bad ones over to the citizens. Police themselves, as it were.

        @aterkel there are 2 different types of cops: those that got into it for action & those who got into it to help people.

        @aterkel I hope the police are rotating out officers, so the same person isn't doing nightly crowd control & causing worsening dispositions.
