I am in agreeance with ClassyLady. Like I've mentioned before, I want to join the police force, and things like this are things that I think about all the time. Just because someone swings on me does not mean I should beat them down with my nightstick, especially when I have 5 0r 6 other officers to help me. Even if he had to use it, he didn't have to continue to beat him down after he was on the ground, which is what I got from the video. Police officers know the potential situations thay may get into, and they are paid to deal with things like this. Even now, when I have to restain my residents, I try to make sure I do not hurt them.
I actually think that stun guns/tasers are a good idea, as long as they used properly. If the police officers do not get giddy and stun a man to death, then it will avoid a lot of physical confrontations. I hope they get it together, because I thinking about going back to Cinci...
