Not from what I have seen in my city. Cops here are trained to control people without having to arrest them. Other cities send their cops here to get that training. I've seen it work many times and you would think all hell was about to bust loose and in the end the person apologizes. It is all about respect and understanding human nature. It is also about having the same cops in the same neighborhoods so they know the people they serve and the people know them. With the brute force method you seem to advocate, there is only one result and that is an arrest that eats up valuable patrol time and only reinforces resentment in a community and the stereotypes about gestapo-like cops.

It's damn near impossible to de-escalate a case of BPOC Syndrome.
