PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Philadelphia Police Department on Friday announced a new policy on how to confront people accused of trespassing on private property, two months after coming under fire for arresting two black men waiting for a colleague at a Starbucks.

Officers are now instructed to first attempt to de-escalate and mediate disturbances between property owners and accused offenders. Before an officer arrests someone, that person must understand he or she is not allowed on the property. The officer also must witness the person refusing to leave.

Its scary that de-escalate the situation is a NEW rule for them. Its literally supposed to be their only job.

Yeah, I would hope de-escalation attempts would be the normal first thing they'd try...

If someone is already trespassed then the police can simply intervene and arrest the subject.

But if the ruling has never been established they need to cool everyone down first.
