The Dr Phil analogy is clever, but in reality, a little transactional psychology might be beneficial in diffusing a situation like this. I, unlike you, did not see a present threat or danger to the FOUR ARMED POLICE OFFICERS prior to the take down. If you can't allow that everyone would have been better off by diffusing the situation, we have no basis for agreement on this issue.

You missed my point. What EXACTLY would YOU have done if you were in the situation as a law enforcement officer with Mr. Garner?
THEN in a completely different situation, what would you have done
exactly, if a boy in high school did not take your direction for
30 times? Of course I know you wouldn't have used force, but would you have thrown him off the team?
There comes a time when a man must act to do his job. What would YOU have done?
