Show Notes
De-escalation shouldn't mean accepting more risk. Here are some ways to extend an olive branch and give people a peaceful way out without sacrificing anyone's safety. With adequate skill proficiency and good tactics to mitigate danger, we can create the physical and emotional space needed to think through these difficult problems. We have to be able to get past our egos and defense mechanisms to a place where we can safely engage community members with respect, and earn respect in return.
