Dave and Steve break down the body camera footage from Dustin Poirier's public intoxication arrest at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, using it as a real example of police de-escalation done right. They cover what de-escalation actually is, what it isn't, and how officers use time, distance, and backup to avoid unnecessary force. The episode also looks closely at the responding officer's handling of a tense encounter with a professional mixed martial arts fighter, along with what Poirier said afterward, including his public comments and what he thought about law enforcement's response to his arrest.
