No matter how the force is applied, somebody is gonna
witness it and feel compassion for the suspect and question
the methods used. |
Look, there's an age old lesson: If you start manhandling somebody, you might expect the person to strike back. The meyer video illustrates that lesson pretty well, even though Meyer hardly "struck back" and apparently didn't lift an officer like the police report alleges.
And, sure enough, you can see this principle even when you apply force on an inanimate object. There will be some level of resistance. Of course, this point, which could be regarded as a scientific principle, apparently doesn't apply if you don a uniform and a badge. Then you can apply force and not expect any significant reaction. The object is then supposed to be powerless.
