I’ve said that or something similar numerous times to cops. But like the guy above i’m a white guy and also a veteran of war so their little macho show doesn’t really do anything for me.
My suggestion if you get stressed in that type of situation is to expose yourself to situations that are more stressful but you’re in control. Something like skydiving or race car driving. That should dampen your adrenaline response a bit and allow you to think at stressful times.
