Ask a random person to describe their idea of a typical police negotiation, and you are likely to get a puzzled look… but if an answer followed, the scene described would likely be something out of an action movie. Police negotiator? Sounds like a barricaded subject. Perhaps with hostages?
Well, not always. Police negotiators also prove useful in many other, less-well-known scenarios. Like convincing Chris that the Seattle Police Department’s elevator is not going to kill him.
This guy is good.

Was this guy high?
Worried about being killed breathing the air but says yes to water. This is impressive i will admit.
These techniques should be applied in child custody negotiations. Firms like Brody and Kling in Washington DC often use kidnapping-like techniques to force untenable negotiations by noncustodial parents. Some end in tragedy.
Shaggy was smoking something extra.
LOL this guy is so funny I know i shouldn’t laugh but he’s being ridiculous
This police officer looks so peaceful
Our officers are highly trained. Never walk in on a hostage situation unless you have been trained and certified. It also takes a level head to go in and handle a hostage situation.
Our business has it’s complexities. We see complexed individuals all the time.
Wow thats amazing negotiating. I can live in calm in peace knowing that top notch professionals are negotiating at that level. ðŸ‘
Great police work!! Wish all officers were like this!
I prefer distilled water
An amulet fam you need a lawyer smh 🤦â€â™‚ï¸
anybody else scared for Chris
Chris: “I’ve actually been trying not to breathe the airâ€
SPD: Hmm nods
Says while in a jail " I prefer distilled water…"
Can we get more of the negotiator? This is fascinating
This is so heartbreaking. Poor guy. I hope he gets better soon. <3
Where is the video show this guy getting arrested?
That's funny… Its the exact same way I talk to the middle school kids I work with "I don't want to go to that teachers room she's a bitch" me "ok I get you're upset but right now, if you don't go into the room she's probably going to call your mom at work, your mom is going to have to get out of work to pick you up and that's no bueno, oh and it's Friday so you're weekend is also no bueno…" kid "oh shit.. That's right ok I'll go in and shut up"
Mental Illness can't be controlled but if you learn some ways to talk them down and guide them to understand.
How can he drink water when he's handcuffed behind his back?
Hopefully he got help. Good job officers.
I hope in is in there for something bad enough that is wasn't sent to a mental institute. Although they sometimes abuse people worse. These cops did a good job for just being cops. Cameras also help. That guy needs some type of meds hope he got it or is at least more aware
That was beautiful. Great work! Real police
Ah, I see. Most police don't take the "not being a braying jackass" course. That's why that guy is a "police negotiator". Most of them would have just dragged him. More charges, more overtime, more promotions, more money.
