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.

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.
