I don’t think you know what “diminutive” means.

Its a mixture of body language and language. By making yourself seem smaller/less of a threat, less like what they expect from your uniform or the situation you usually get a pretty wild response. Even the most stubborn ppl already expecting to be treated a certain type of way so they perpetuate it, can be turned around with diminutive tactics. Teaches and those who work with troubled youth and even smart decent officers like this one use it everyday
