De-escalate what situation? A car/cow wreck normally has nothing to "de-escalate".

Of course. Something here was definitely different than the average cow/car wreck that these guys handle all the time. What was it? Did the deputies just get together at lunch and decide to kill the next guy they see? Did the cow farmer lose his mind over his prize bull? Was it just a tragic accident?
Not enough facts at this point to determine what happened and why, IMHO.
With absolutely no facts to support such an assumption........ I would bet good money that Yantis told the deputies exactly what he thought of their efforts to kill the injured bull.
He might well have called into question their manhood and their abilities as Peace Officers.
Such is likely the de-escalation referred to by the widow.
