    Meh, I disagree with that. If officers were only arresting people they knew comitted a crime, and were punished for using excessive force, there really would be no reason to resist an arrest. Should be a put your hands out in front of you, they cuff your hands in front of you and you walk to the car. No reason to tackle anybody, no reason to cuff someone behind their back unless they truly are trying to resist which you’d see on all of the officers body cams. And I’d like it if officers had their guns in locked compartments like the center consol of their vehicle. Only removed if they are responding to an already violent crime, and any time it unlocked it must be documented and logged and reviewed by an outside company as to why a gun was necessary. Immigration charges aren’t violent, stealing a TV isnt violent.

    If you run, yeah the tackling becomes more necessary. But a woman in penis outfit… I mean come on. If she had actually done something wrong she isn’t running anywhere, she’s not fighting you… just tell her to get in the backseat and drive her to the station/county jail to discuss it with the magistrate.

    The magistrate should be like why the fuck did you arrest this person? Notify their supervisor they are on an immediate suspension pending an investigation of why they arrested someone for no reason, and the supervisor has to submit the body cam footage and get statements from everyone involved. And the 3rd party company that conducts the investigation asks a grand jury if it’s worth having a criminal case against the officer. If half say yes, case should occur.
