Yep,I believe police should be allowed to use force. The amount depends on the situation, although it doesn't fill me with confidence that the police officer is the one to decide. I just think there's alot of crime around, and we need a powerful force to combat it.
I do believe that you, like the stroppy one, are a fascist

Joking aside, I have no faith in the police making the right call at all. I've seen a young girl knocked into police vans on a Saturday night for simply trying to slap her boyfriend on a drunken night out. I don't think that is reasonable force.

I think society should be more self-policing. Did you read my post on the incident in the Sport shop? I think that is way too prevalent; people do believe - rightly or wrongly - that the police do use too much force and I have seen it first hand. As I said earlier, if the police had not 'allowed' so many people to die while in their custody then maybe things would be different
