Systemic failure, maybe?

Poor, or out of date procedures, training, mentoring? Inadequate oversight, or compromised by unreasonable expectations?

A guy is restrained, but then the method of subduing him is maintained for a long period of time, and goes unchecked by colleagues looking on. Did no-one think it was unreasonable to continue that method, or did they feel unable to challenge the situation? I’m sure this may actually become part of any appeal against level of sentence.

Quite often, you find that a few isolated, but fairly serious events lead to some poorly reasoned changes in procedures, knee jerk reactions. Sometimes intended to be temporary. A perception that something needs to be done NOW. Then, slowly, instead of being properly thought out, what started off as a temporary measure becomes normal practice.
I’m reluctant to use the phrase ‘Risk Assessment’ these days, as it’s become somewhat coopted and overused, but under appreciated. But we encounter this all the time, and I’m confident that other disciplines find the same.

What’s the risk of not dealing with or subduing a threat quickly? A situation getting out of control? So, we maintain the initiative. We have some well known responses to situations, which are quickly put into action.
Great, initial situation dealt with.

But what about calming the situation down, afterwards? Reassessing?

It’s well known that maintaining a very high level of alert against risks is counterproductive. It’s stressful. It starts to narrow perspective. It can cause all focus to be on the initial perceived problem, and stops people reassessing the situation. It leads to mistakes.
Bring in human characteristics, and what was a rational response can become a big overreaction.

Well, we have an appeal system and rulings are sometimes overturned.

More to the point: Why not argue? Why accept anything?

Did Blacks in Ferguson accept the police department's ruling? No, they torched their own town.
Did the Left accept Trump's victory? No, they screeched about Russia and rioted in DC.
