There are other options you know. Pepper spray is one.
Really? How about a tazer? Would that be good, if they used a tazer first? You'd be okay if they did that?
Well, read the article, cop hater, they did.
And, incidentally, locally the police did pepper spray a person recently. He was high on "wet" and kept his mouth open and do you know what happened? His throat swelled up and he died. I'll bet you'd be blaming the LEOs in that situation if you'd read about that too.
