Police Use of Force for Misdemeanors

Would you be for or against police departments nationwide adopting a policy of prohibiting police officers from using force for misdemeanor arrests and limiting force to only felony arrests?
I read about these controversial police encounters which often have the entire reason for the encounter based off of a misdemeanor violation which many seem to take issue with the level of force used since it was only a misdemeanor.
What kind of law enforcement policy or law does the board suggest to combat what many here have indicated in a variety of terms as overly aggressive police behavior?

So what happens when someone resist arrest or becomes combative when being questioned or arrested for a misdemeanor?
What to do when mr. policeman pulls over a thug in N.O. for speeding or running a redlight running, etc. Turns out the guy has been arrested 27 times before and wants to play tough guy and fight?
I def. agree the whole policy on aggresive police actions needs to be looked at in different ways btw.

That's great until that misdemeanor stop turns into the suspect trying to disarm the cop and assault him. Then you're going to get killed, justifiably.

and if the person they are arresting doesn't want to go willingly, how do they do it? or do we just not arrest people for misdemeanors now?

The officer feels threatened. Rules don't apply.

Of course not.

In the case of Garner, why was he being arrested in the first place?
A family lawyer, Jonathan Moore, said that Garner should have gotten at most a summons to appear in court for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes
Maybe we need to reconsider what actions require that free citizens be placed under arrest by law enforcement. We have more people incarcerated than any other country in the civilized world, and we consider ourselves the 'land of the free'?
Not just has law enforcement gotten out of control, but simply the preponderance of laws trying to control a free society has gotten out of control.

Then the law will change to make things like DUI and Simple and Domestic Assault into Felonies.
