to keep cool
Il s'agit pour les forces de l'ordre de conserver le sens de la mesure, de limiter l'usage de la force, de ne pas "perdre la tête", de "raison garder" (et non pas "raison gardée"...) !

They can't let emotion overtake reason.
Yes, it's "garder", not "gardée."
. county and city police training programs, so they can arrest ..... Like all people however, we do succumb to emotion from time to time. ...
