5h3re is a “mandate” to use the minimum force available to “get the subject unDer control. That is why they went to the knee technique instead of using batons, or brass knuckles, or night sticks e t c to “beat a perp into submission” . The knee was the best option to get a violent perp u Der control without causing too much harm. If you remember, the police were accused of using a “choke hold” to subdue a standing unusually large perp back awhile ago, and he ended up dying, and there was a huge uproar over the technique. And perhaps rightfully so, as there is a fine line between causing the person to submit, and them going unconscious and possibly dying if the hold is held too long.
Have you read that link the fella posted to me above? Some really good I fo I. There about the techniques used and why they use them, and how safe they are compared to other techniques. It is a really thorough breakdown of the trial so far with a huge amount of really pertinent j fo that should be a slam dunk for the defense IF the jury is I partial and objective
By “mandate” I mean they are trained to use the least amount of force necessary to get the perp under control. As you say, that force must increase as the risk increases for the perp to break free. Batons I beleive are the .zst resort. They accused the police of using them on reginal deny (sp?) Unnecessarily, because the video they showed showed the police at the point where they were using them, and not before when reginal was fighting with them and when the tazers I beleive had no impact because Danny was also high as a kite at the time, on pcp if i remember right, which is notorious for causing massive strength and resistance to pain, but I don’t think the cops knew exactly what he was on at the time, they just knew they had a real battle in their hands, which the video did not show. The video made it look like they were beating a defenseless man for no reason.
Thats the problem with videos. They elicit emotions because all the facts are not known, and they “look bad”. The left exploit this fact in their lust to start race riots, to “punish the man” for the sin of being white.
I’m praying 5hat God will allow justice to prevail. If not, then the court system is broken. Sadly though this means riots because the ,eft are not jnterested in Facts or in truth and justice
I haven’t seen it yet...I’ll check it out...thank you!
