The article is generally reliable as it provides insights from multiple sources including experts in police training as well as an executive director from an organization dedicated to improving policing practices. However, it should be noted that all sources quoted are from organizations or individuals with vested interests in law enforcement reform or criminal justice reform which could lead to potential bias in their opinions on this matter. Additionally, while this article does provide some insight into how modern policing should be conducted, it fails to explore any counterarguments or present any evidence to support its claims regarding excessive force used by these officers or any potential risks associated with such actions. As such, readers should take this information with a grain of salt and seek out additional sources before forming any conclusions about this incident or similar incidents involving law enforcement personnel.
