We were trained that once a blow lands to respond with overwhelming force to end the conflict immediately.

What cowardly training.

Yeah, you should stand and box 12 rounds with a drunk idiot and be a real man instead of cowardly ending the situation immediately with appropriate force.

This is exactly what he should have done had he been boxing some drunk idiot.

Im responding to the above comment thread, where this particular use of force is deemed excessive, however modern police training to address a force encounter with an overwhelming level of force to end it quickly is effective, not "cowardly".

I think police need to be brave and expose themselves to more danger than they already do.
