Where Politics And Video Games Collide

Please understand the verbiage in which you are referring. "Excessive force," has a distinct definition in regard to law enforcement and thusly I would advise against casual usage in the lexicon. Police have the right to utilize force when a citizen does not comply with their demands. Similarly, citizens have the right to protest and follow through with legal action at a later date if they believe the orders were in violation of their protected rights as an American. The Taser was utilized, and often is utilized; in order to not only protect the safety of the police officers but the young man as well. Rather than need to inflict the bodily harm of being dragged, bound or wrestled out of the area police used a relatively safe measure in the form of electric shock. That technique is greatly preferable to being hit, struck, pulled, pushed, twisted, doused in chemicals or shot. The police officers in the incident, while frightening for how well they executed their training, acted with a great deal of restraint and level headiness when they proceeded to give the inciter multiple opportunities to cease his actions before they moved to a usually non-lethal form of force. The young man was in violation of the law and was asked to leave, attempts to direct him out failed, and when the decision was made to arrest him he physically resisted officers of the law. And so, with my considerations in mind and while being clear on the scenario, I ask what you would have found to have been a better avenue of action by the involved?
