Maybe, just maybe, you had it right at the outset, and then, inexplicably, you took a wrong turn:

Maybe, but then you have the statement from Commissioner Ramsay:

"During his press conference Tuesday, Ramsey described the incident on the YouTube video as very troubling and, from what he saw in the video, the use of force applied was in excess of what was needed."

The use of force was needed but it's application was excessive.

Is that the way you saw it too???

No, like you, I think he did not apply enough force and he should have shot her with his service revolver where she stood, er, I mean as she was attempting to flee.

That you are holding on to the quote “the use of force applied was in excess of what was needed” as some sort of justification for what Josey did amply demonstrates the weakness of your position. On a scale of force from 0-100, he used a 30 when all he needed was a 1. “Ma’am, stop, I need to talk to you.”

And since, in previous posts, you have mentioned how open minded you are, what more than a summary dismissal from the police force do you need to convince you that Josey was in the wrong?

No, and you should know that because I already gave you the full quote in post#291 :

"If there was an arrest to be made, you use only the force necessary to affect that arrest. From what I saw that was in excess of what was needed," Ramsey said.
