Check out this police video illustrating what can happen when there is a failure to communicate. Glad it didn't get ugly.
Warning: it's a little long. Unbelievable.

Epilogue:

The City of Canton condemns the unlawful behavior of Daniel Harless, and has terminated his employment with the Canton Police Department. A pending investigation will determine if Mr. Harless will face criminal charges. Moreover, by August 15 we will have initiated an in-service training program designed to strengthen our police department and ensure that this type of incident cannot happen again. Finally, all charges against the defendant have been unconditionally dropped. We continue to call upon all Canton residents to place their full trust in our police department, as together we move past this horrific incident.

 

That video has been all over the internet. It really wasn't a failure to communicate, it was a failure of someone to listen. That cop was a jackass and I hope he ends up flipping burgers.

 

Listening is part of communication.

 

Wow! Cops missed protocol on that one I guess.
