[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1165855, member: 73144"] Great post. On the force point they’ve always been allowed to use “reasonable” force. Excessive force should always be called to account, of course it should, but what is actually reasonable in the moment can be made to look awful when dissected by the microsecond by lawyers with all the time in the world in a court or disciplinary hearing. And of course the other party will be sitting there suited and booted as if butter wouldn’t melt. Abuses of office must attract appropriate sanction. But the 97% of officers who are conscientious and hard working need public and political backing to do their jobs robustly. [/QUOTE]
