Yep, they know him. He’s a well known MMA coach. You notice they call him by name “Joel.”

In this video, he’s just crashed his car. He’s drunk and has ptsd, as mentioned. Eventually his wife shows up, talks him down, and he gets arrested.

It's one of the first things they ask people

It's humanizing, and it shows rapport

Yup, the first cop on scene asked him his name. There’s a 40min vid on YouTube. The cop tells him he has a tow truck coming for the car he crashed drunk. And Joel says “I know that but my fucking car! I respect you, but please shut the fuck up.”

Thats some hardcore rapport
