I get what you're saying, but unfortunately analogy means: "a comparison between one thing and another, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification" (Google) So basically an analogy must be either equivalent, or proportional or comparable with the matter at hand. I think I can analyze analogies pretty well. The problem is what I've already explained; I can't see the analogy in any way, shape or form when we're talking about something like spanking, which has no ramifications, to tasing which can have serious ramifications. Especially when we're talking about teenagers. I've reached my limit on how much better I can explain myself to be honest. As for the "general idea of a very big problem", is hard to understand how you can see so distant and detached "analogies" and yet you refuse to accept this instance as part of that big problem. Police brutality simply means(in my simple mind): "instances where officers of the law use excessive and disproportionate force to deal with a situation at hand". This ranges from unwarranted verbal attacks, physical abuse or even killing someone. Risking a teenager's life, when said teenager posed no threat to anyone, is the definition of excessive and disproportionate force.
