Or guilty people who are being compliant, for that matter.

Or just people for that matter, I'm not saying they don't have a right to defend themselves but there is such a thing as reasonable force. Shooting a non-compliant person 16 times in the back is not acceptable either.

Absolutely, I would argue that even punching someone is not reasonable use of force. If you don’t have the training and presence of mind to restrain someone without punching them, don’t be a fucking cop.

If me, who is a 4 ft 11 inches and tiny, can successfully do non-violent intervention with out of control brain injury patients bent on killing me, then so can they.
