South L.A., this is starting now... they just asked listeners to guess how many uses of force there were last year like it was a quiz show. [I'm recording it and only tuning in and out while working on something else, but that caught my ear.]

Now they're quizzing listeners on how many times they used force when dealing with folks having some sort of mental health or nonviolent emergency (e.g. were inebriated).
I get what they're doing - trying to constrast folks' expectations of uses of force with the number of encounters they have and how many times force is actually used to suggest they practice great restraint.
But you can likely only turn uses-of-force into a collegial quiz game when you're talking to a friendly audience you haven't used force against... ?
