 Officer.com has a great article out this week on the current state of use of force and the complicated and unncecessarily lengthy force continuums Deputies are forced to wade through in extremely high stress situations where lives are at stake.
From the Article:

With officer deaths at a 30 year high and assaults against officers increasing, it is incumbent on agencies to clarify use of force for officers, not confuse them with complicated, convoluted continuums.
