D.C. Mafia cops
De-escalation tactics. Speak softly and carry a big stick.
Dirty mob cops are closing the books on people's lives without cause. De-escalation isn't that difficult. Really.
- Don't "escalate" in the first place.
- Don't insult, ridicule, demean, disrespect or antagonize people without cause.
- Cops love action plays and hero adventures but there's nothing you need to "do" as a cop to de-escalate.
- If you don't have a chatterbox "situation" already, don't create one.
- We the people reserve the absolute, unalienable and non-infringeable right to keep and bear Arms in our Constitution — including but not limited to rifles, shotguns and pistols — for our own defense, hunting and recreational shooting.
- We the people do not want to be involved in any of the "situations" these abusive urban beat cops and their drug-dealing gangster buddies insist on creating and manufacturing for us time and time again.
National Guardsmen Strengthen Skills Through De-Escalation Training
"Almost every encounter we have as law enforcement starts and ends with words," said D.C. Metropolitan Police Department Sgt. Marc Sansone, who led the training. "That sets the tone and closes the book for the interaction."
Unfortunately, true. Exchange "words" with a dirty cop and come to find out the "books are closed" on your life in true D.C. Mafia style.
Why does the LCN close the books for sometimes years at a time on guys getting made.

You can't be "made" or get a job or have a romantic relationship or a home or an operable vehicle or firearm of any sort at all in this life once the D.C. Mob bosses have "closed the books" on you, because they have too many "systems" in place to make sure things stay that way.

Questions about getting made and opening of books
by u/RaheemRakimIbrahim in Mafia
Can you pass a background check for a job without a slew of cop-shop mental-health smut permanently attached to your name? Or make a killing in business to barely scrape by with zero assets and somehow pay off your debts to avoid a bankruptcy? Many of these people are Italian, not necessarily churchgoing, and not necessarily Catholic (as one might otherwise assume) if they do go to church, and even many of the ones who do attend church regularly are criminals of the very worst sort anyways.
What does daily life look like in the mob? Is the weekend any different from weekdays?

I'm not particularly "Italian" myself, but both of my grandmothers were educated and could speak Latin, that is the language that developed into modern Italian, and obviously there is some degree of that heritage inherent in all Western civilization if for example anyone who is a member of such civilization hesitates to cook spaghetti or pizza for a family dinner.
Most of these Italian bosses posting online in forums or blogs in other words say nothing my grandmother wouldn't have said. I happen unfortunately to have been born in the period when the Mafia's books were not quite open yet.
