I'm really glad you brought up the "Use of Force Model". That is something that is sorely absent in current conversations regarding the professionalism in how LEOs deal with the public.
Otherwise, regardless of how unwise members of the public may act, is it any wiser for LEOs to escalate a situation through the improper use of force? Whatever happened to de-escalation training? They are on the job and have a responsibility to act per policy and should be appropriately reprimanded when they fail to do so. It is the lack of LEOs being held accountable for their unwise actions that have made such actions more prevalent.
