But that is based on the assumption that force is the correct choice in the first place. Having more options on how to apply force avoids the fact that the correct choice is to de-escalate.

It's almost always to de-escalate. But only almost.

I'm willing to grant the police the power to appropriately use force and give them the broadest spectrum of options to match to the need. That's not dependent on them showing for a whole year with no force that they've thought about what they did wrong so far.

I started this subthread. I didn't want to discuss that. I wanted to discuss other options if one has to use force.

I actually want to learn.
