Just when I thought California was as stupid as it gets....

It now wants to change when a police officer could use deadly force. I'm sure next week, the Black Caucus will demand that we say "Pretty Please" before any arrest.

The article as written is a bit confusing in that Officers are already taught and train to use "deadly force" only as a last resort. In the article, a county Officer and special prosecutor noted the following:

"Officers already use deadly force only when necessary and are taught to try to defuse dangerous situations first when possible, said Ed Obayashi, a Plumas County sheriff’s deputy and special prosecutor who trains officers and testifies in court on police use of force."

Sounds to me like there splitting hairs.

I'd like to hear what the White Caucus says about this.... oh wait, that is racist and I can't say that. Nevermind...
