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?

Exaggerate much???

If spraying silly string at police officers is a detainable offense in Philadelphia, then her detention was justifiable and the Commissioner said so in so many words.

What part of the Commissioner's words do you not understand???
