I dont even think it was stupid i think bro was trying his best given no training and the circumstance. You see it all the time in bodycam footage they often dumb stuff down to the level of a parent scolding a kid. The cop was trying to sympathize while also pointing out hey this isn’t a great solution without coming off as you can’t do that because i said so or pretending to know whats going on in their head. Just straight to the point this isn’t a great idea.
