On the other hand, incidents like this one drive a backlash against less-than-lethal weapons (and various holds), forcing police to deploy lethal force more often. I don’t know what the answer is besides “we need to stop making policy based on the whims of angry mobs”.
- nescioquid 5y agoAbsolutely not. My point is the poor training (or mistraining) that leads to unwarranted use of force in the first place. Train and outfit police like paramilitary warriors and every encounter with the public is a question of how much force to apply. That's the problem in my view.
