I honestly don't know, how many misdemeanors are arrestable offenses anyway?
Was the guy in New York being arrested for a misdemeanor? I get that impression, but I don't want to make that assumption.
Agree. And Eric Gardner did not look like he was resisting enough to warrant the force used.
No, that is dumb. So we can beat the hell out of rapists even if they don't resist arrest, but petty thieves are get kid gloves?.
Think about how what you are advocating would work.
How would you train for that? Multiple arrest methodologies based on crime-level?

All I'm trying to point out is that all of us are criminals in the eyes of the law. We break the law, on average, 3 times a day. Should every person in the US be subject to the sort of arrest effected on Eric Garner?
We need major judicial reform and police reform.
Eta: Should a police pursuit of a kidnapper be conducted the same way the police pursuit of a obscured license plate is conducted?
