Uncle Chip :"During his press conference Tuesday, Ramsey described the incident on the YouTube video as very troubling and, from what he saw in the video, the use of force applied was in excess of what was needed."

The use of force was needed but it's application was excessive.

Is that the way you saw it too???

No, and you should know that because I already gave you the full quote in post#291 :

"If there was an arrest to be made, you use only the force necessary to affect that arrest. From what I saw that was in excess of what was needed," Ramsey said.

Q: What does "that" refer to???

A: the force necessary to effect "that arrest".

Q: What is "that arrest"???

Ramsey didn't get to where he is without knowing how to parse his words.
