I do agree with you, and I don't mean to suggest otherwise. My only point, really, is that it seems that use of force is too often unwarranted in the first place (which goes to screening, training, and professionalism). Where I live, we seem to have had a long trickle of stories of the police tasing the mentally ill, or discharging their service weapons mistaken for a taser.
