 Just curious, where do you guys think the line between enforcement and police brutality is drawn?

i think that as long as there's no need for the violence/beating/whatever, then it's brutality

[slivermail]

ah how can you use so general terms
Who determines the need?
what is the need and where does it stop?

Courts determine the need and the line between brutality and enforcement. Cops are also trained using a use of force continuum, which is usually represented as a series of steps of appropriate violence vs. the level of resistance encountered.
