19. We are just acknowledging reality, Police can us FORCE to keep the peace
You may dislike when and how the Police use force, but it is up to the Police to decide when such violence is required. Abuse is NOT when the Police use force, it is when the Police use force NOT to keep the peace but beat someone up. Compare this to the Rodney King Abuse, there the Police instead of hand cuffing Rodney King, kept on beating him. That was clearly abuse, this is NOT, here the police use only enough force to put people on the ground so they could be hand cuffed. That is clearly not abuse, as abuse is legally defined.
