Thanks.
I used to work on the admin side of police training here and it's not about control here but de-escalation of any situation. Literally the first thing they are taught is to greet everyone they pass with Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening, Sir/Madam (surreal when you are greeted as such when passed by a seven foot rabbit on the way to a fancy dress party!), and the first week of formal training is solid diversity training.
