That was excessive force. People shouldn't be killed to subdue them if they are not violently resisting. It isn't that hard.

Use the minimum force necessary to arrest. Don't immediately kill or tase or whatever to "gain compliance".

If you or I did that, we'd be tried for murder. Police are no different. When you give a person a gun and the right to be an executioner, you want them to be MORE careful and be held to a higher standard.

You can't execute someone for something that might happen. He was not violently resisting. Here's how logic works: If he is violently resisting, going for the gun, etc, then deadly force may be justified.

But in this case with a WHITE MALE VICTIM and the Garner case it was NOT justified or necessary.
