That's the standard trend out there for any use of force. You don't want to have somebody just sit there and hit him with a baton over and over again either. The idea of using force by law enforcement is to take that person into custody with the least amount of force possible in order to reduce the injury. Certainly we cover pretty extensively in our training the point that we don't want somebody to just sit there and keep pulling the trigger over and over. This is not a spectator sport, so you need to get them in and get them restrained and get them into custody, so you can minimize the amount of force. But again, with policy and training, that's where they're going to determine how that's done at the particular agency.
