Mindset training is a course that teaches verbal deescalation and physical defensive tactics designed to minimize injury to the aggressor. Self defense skills are taught that are strictly defensive and emphasize no pressure being placed on the aggressor. 

One principle involves ensuring the aggressor’s shoulders are perpendicular to the ground so that the person attempting to deescalate can monitor breathing and circulation. Does this sound like it could have saved someone’s life? You’re right. Had police been given proper training in deescalation and non-violent defensive tactics, George Floyd and countless others may still be alive. 
This is our chance to make a difference and save lives. I am not affiliated with mindset in any way, shape, or form. I simply took the class and realized this was missing from law enforcement curriculum. We must value each other’s lives, even when we are at our lowest. Help require police to learn how to deescalate verbally and how to protect both themselves and the aggressor with as little violence as possible. Save some lives!
