Walking up to angry NY Trini woman "Are you okay?" thinking it's going to either intimidate her or tempt her to physical action.

For a team supposedly specializing in the handling of "immigrants" these guys don't seem that skilled at it.

To be fair, he did what he was told to do to deescalate, saw that it was never going to work, and shut up. Also, didn’t have his face covered for whatever minuscule credit that deserves.

Mr NYY cap nazi fuckwit was the fucker getting his balls removed.

Creeping up step by step and looming over a lady is not de-escalating.

it's not possible for him not to loom. He's 6'2" or something. Walking slowly isn't creeping if they're watching you the whole time.

I'm sure he was counting on some type of intimidation to help, yes, but it obviously didn't and he seemed to get right away he wasn't going to cool her off, so he stopped trying.

He's not a personal hero or anything, he's some gestapo-adjacent heavy. I'm just saying. He didn't make it much worse like NYY boy did.
