I remember reading a story about an ex-army guy that joined the police, who kept trying to de-escalate all sorts of situations, because a man with a gun wasn't too scary considering the wars he served in.

One day he attempts to de-escalate a guy that was attempting suicide by cop, it started working, but was taking a long time. Eventually, his PD showed up and shot the guy.

The army guy was eventually fired for supposedly endangering PD and civilian lives by not acting fast enough on shooting people.-

Wasn't it that he'd deescalated, disarmed, and cuffed the guy and another cop just shows up and executes the passive, already captured person?
