Hello Kathy,
I recall your post about LAPD training. Hopefully it has improved with
time and with the exposure that police force has received. I believe when
it is necessary to subdue a prisoner attempting to avoid capture or to
escape or to prevent that individual from harming someone, then force must
be used. I believe King needed to be subdued as he did not succumb to
capture willingly. The line appears to be at what point King was under
control and how much physical force was still used when it was unnecessary.
I believe there was abuse and that was wrong. On the other hand, I do not
excuse King for the part he played. Had he not behaved as he did, a high
speed chase would have been avoided and had he not resisted arrest and
attacked the officers, no force would have been necessary. However, I
certainly distinguish between necessary force and abuse. Abuse is not
acceptable on the part of the criminal or the police. I understand your
point. :)
Joan
