We have gone overboard when it comes to what constitutes reasonable use of force by police.

 

Our justice system is broken.

Wait.  Let me back up.  I like this guys videos.  He definitely has a hardon for law enforcement but he actually goes over case law and justifies/explains the positions.

In this particular vid it led me to a strange place.

The uniform instead of being a deterrent has instead made people brave, see dollar signs and I personally believe has led to behavior that they would never attempt against a civilian.

What do I mean?

In this case, while the lady is obviously either high or batshit crazy (don't think she's drunk cause they would have stated that they smelled alcohol) I feel really confident that she would never spit on some random person on the street.

The officer had a NORMAL reaction and is fired.

I know many are cheering but think about it.  What would you do if someone spit in your face?

Use of force needs to change.  Instead of trying to "define" it we should instead use the pornography test.  What is that?  No definition is available but you know it when you see it.

What would happen then?  Then it would fall to the supervisors, Chiefs/Sheriffs to make the final say.  They would be held accountable by their voters.

That's what I think.  What do you?
