I owed this more thought. It's unfortunate that police are asked to be the primary social service agency of our time. I'm sure you deal with tons of irrational folks. Paul
you look skinny in the uniform. can you get an athletic cut top please. I know a tailor.
I've never met @Carson , but I definitely enjoy his hilarious (and sometimes sad) posts on his daily experience as a police officer. Since he posted the video, I'm assuming he's OK with a discussion on the topic of police use of force. I've been thinking about this post and the video quite a bit over the past few days, so wanted to add my two cents.You talk back and disobey a direct order from a police officer you get what you deserve. Stick time.
As much as people say it's wrong to use force, I haven't seen anyone post alternatives. Almost all of the issues arise from people not obeying a simple command. Usually, it's because they know they did something wrong or are hiding something. Would you just keep yelling at the guy until the end of your shift, and call in officer two to take over yelling?I've never met @Carson , but I definitely enjoy his hilarious (and sometimes sad) posts on his daily experience as a police officer.

I know that each situation is different, and that cops face a daily risk of injury (or worse). But just because someone doesn't do exactly what an officer commands should not mean that it is a license to use the "stick", or the taser, etc. Please note that I'm not commenting in any way on the events in the video, most of which is off-camera and probably does not tell the entire story (like most videos showing alleged excessive force). However, it seems to me that we need to have a serious re-evaluation of the standards for use of force, specifically in the context of non-compliance with a police order.
Would love to get the perspectives of anyone in law enforcement. In your view, when is force permissible and how do you determine the appropriate level of force? Are there any changes you'd like to see?
