then they arrest him.

beating the ever shit out of him is not the way to go. So if youre a cook and some rando kills a member of the cook profession you can butcher the guy with a cooks knife? If youre a race car driver and a rando kills a member of the race car driver profession you can run over him with your race car? No

Yeah. COs did this and it was proven we'd more than lose our jobs. One on one and had a weapon MAYBE we could justify going ham. But even that would still require some damn good verbal judo as we call it.(and would still likely lose our job. At best avoid criminal charges) 3 on one no.

I laugh when I hear cops say our job is safer. We have far less protections than they do. I got pepper spray and a baton and am outnumbered 120 to 3 on a good day. Most of us fear using that baton too cause it's a good way to get others to jump in as even if justified they see it as excessive force and gangbangers gonna protect each other. So basically we got pepper spray unless we legit feel our life is in danger.

We get it drilled into our heads. "Least amount of force necessary to accomplish the correctional objective." Like a dude could punch myblights out turn around and hold his hands out to be cuffed for the other officer and that's all they are allowed to do is cuff him at that point.

Edit: hell we got a lecture the other day about it being our duty to rat out officers doing wrong. Kills me we are the black sheep of law enforcement but we'll actually weed out the bad apples instead of protect them
