BLUE BELL, PAIn an effort to focus on practical skills, cadet Aaron Sanger studied for the police academy exam Monday by skimming over the sections in his training manual about deescalation techniques that hell never use in real life. I guess Im technically supposed to know this stuff, but theres no way Ill ever have to talk a suspect down in the field, said Sanger, clarifying that using brute force would always be a quicker and easier option than going through a step-by-step deescalation process. Im focusing on the physical fitness portion of the test, so this mediation thing is falling to the wayside. If I ever do need to use it, Ill just Google it while Im pressing my knee on a guys neck. Im not gonna waste my time studying laws, either. Most of them are really old and outdatedplus, its not like suspects know them. At press time, Sanger was standing in front of a mirror and practicing how to tell a judge that he feared for his life before shooting a suspect.
