Negotiator? Sounds like the moron is negotiating to get things over with so he can catch the donut shop before closing.

Wonder if the cop feels any remorse for his unprofessional handling of the situation? Judging by the tone of his voice, I would guess - no.

The Negotiator was inept to deal with a young man that was having his worst day.  The Malfunction was the Negotiator.

They were not rude... negligent, maybe; they assessed his personality wrong. This aggressive tactic may work for certain people and they probably had some incorrect information or some prior (arrest records) information that they misread. In the end, no sworn officer pulled a trigger that day. The culpability lies with the gun holder; we as a society seem to remove responsibility due to "psychological malfunction," but the thing is - how far do we take away responsibility from one's actions?

My name is Andy Downs. I lecture to hostage negotiators about mt father hijacking from 1971. Similar tactics killed my father in 1971 and though some things have changed, not enough has. I would like to be of assistance in helping change things in Oceanside. My father civil case helped force the FBI to start the first hostage negotiation team.

The family or their representatives can contact me through my website at 58November

1) Fire this moron cop. If he doesn't understand that there are situations where you can't follow a rulebook on the dot he is a fucking moron and shouldn't be there.

2) Change the fucking regulations. Did no one consult a professional before they made this. This guy said so many wrong things it is ridiculous.
