No, I listed a clear escalation from force, to violence, to killing, only when necessary.
If it is necessary for a cop to use force when dealing with a person resisting arrest, the cop should use overwhelming force to efficiently perform his duties.
However, overwhelming force does not mean kill.
Remember when the Oakland Subway Police shot and killed a man that was handcuffed and laying on his stomach BEFORE he was shot?
That was unnecesary.
Most cases of police brutality that see the light of headlines are headlines because the cops involved did not practice proper judgment.
I question the judgment of tasering a mentally ill person. She could have died, then what?
She died outside of church because she wouldn't/couldn't stop beating her tambourine?
See the lunacy in that?
