      https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1266883267803746305?s=19 … note the way he tells the guy to drop the gun, and also his proficiency at disassembling it

      This guy was military/swat pro-zone level law enforcement. The way he held the gun-angled down, the proficiency with the weapon, and this confidence the idiot holding it wouldn't do anything. He's seen some shit while doing colonial oppression.

      Anyone who's been properly to shoot ARs would be able to do this, but the confidence seems to say some kind of experience and training.

      Could be, though law enforcement is better at this kind of safe disarming technique. Military does a lot more kill than restrain training.

      As I explained on air, our security guard felt that the public was in danger. He took the AR 15 from the rioter and disabled it. We called 911 and waited to hand it over and continue our reporting. Protesters surrounded us, calling us police. (1/2) https://twitter.com/BrandiKruse/status/1266871105186193408 …

          Their HR Dept has good hiring practices, his training was paid for by the very citizens he's disarming.

          Historian @jelani9 offers a rundown explaining how policing has been a problem in all major social upheavals that have occured in communities suffering from socioeconomic disparities where "policing becomes the spark that ignites that explosion."
