The police will bring lots of pressure to bear as it is their job is to get information as quickly as possible, even as they themselves have been trained not to make any statements to anyone under similar circumstances. They will be ‘nice’ to you_ and they will be nasty to you with threats and intimidation to make you talk.
A person who has been traumatized by being involved in an accident, a fatality on the highway, an assault that required defensive use of force by empty hands and or weapons _ is under a tremendous pressure to talk instinctively and try to convince that none of what happened was his fault.
The brain cannot think logically at that moment and he will experience logorrhea, as per the lethal force institute teachings_
Logorrhea= compulsive talking to exculpate without even realizing it.
1) Your primal response is one of, “That guy just tried to kill me but I’m still alive! I must have done something right! “ and
2) The “official” response to your life-preserving action is, “Get on the ground, scumbag! You’re under arrest!” and
3) The tool you just used to preserve your very life, and now have a fond regard for, is forcibly removed from you; you’re, not gently, physically restrained and handcuffed, then cruelly isolated by being tossed into a filthy cage intended for predatory criminals,
with no contact with any compassionate individual who could calm and comfort you, a form of torture for the specific purpose to psychologically defeat you when you’re at your lowest emotional point, impersonally “grilling” you, thereby fostering further doubt and insidiously “planting” their version of events which your information-starved brain regurgitates and solidifies
-permanently, through confabulation, so real you’ll pass a lie-detector test about it -into the “real” way it happened.
Your immediate body reactions may include: trembling, sweating, chills, hyperventilation, dizziness, jumpiness, hyperactivity, thirstiness, upset stomach, nausea, diarrhea, constant urge to urinate, sleep disturbance and nightmares.
Your long-term reaction may be a preoccupation with the event, reliving it over and over, second-guessing yourself, the feeling that you must have done something wrong, to the point where it metamorphosises into your shadow, always with you:
to experience irritability, loss of ability to function, outbreaks of rage, loss of ability to eat and sleep, tremors, sweats, nightmares, clinical depression, possibly even to the point of suicide, sexual dysfunction including impotence, flashbacks, inability to control your emotions, or other symptoms, such as survivor guilt, the “mark of Cain syndrome” (everyone knows what I’ve done),
social withdrawal, ostracization, the feeling that “nobody else understands,” disorientation, confusion, inability to concentrate and exaggerated startle response; but if you’ve trained properly and mentally prepared yourself in advance with a dedicated, close-knit team of reassuring friends and relatives who understand and agree with your point of view, then your psychic cost can be lowered.
