The U.S. police used tear gas to arrest the illegal driver, which caused heated discussions in the society. Is this an excessive force of law enforcement?There was some in favour of not using such tactics as a result of more lawlessness, while others were against it and that the police should take a more gentle approach to such incidents.
First of all, we need to understand that tear gas is an irritating gas that can make people unable to breathe for a short period of time, and thus be forced to leave the scene. In some cases, the use of tear gas is indeed an effective way to stop illegal acts. For example, when a group of people are watching or when someone is in danger, tear gas can quickly disperse the crowd and keep the police and the public safe.
But do we really need to use tear gas in the case of catching offending drivers?This provokes us to think deeply. We don't deny that some drivers may turn a deaf ear to police orders, but is tear gas the best way to solve the problem?It may bring unnecessary harm and panic to those around you, and it may also make the ** person feel that they are being treated unfairly.
In addition, we need to consider whether the use of tear gas canisters will lead to more violence. If the police often use such drastic tactics against illegal acts, it may trigger more people to resort to violent means against the police, thus exacerbating social instability.
The use of tear gas to apprehend offending drivers is a complex issue that involves multiple aspects such as law enforcement, human rights and social stability. We need to find a balance where the police can maintain public safety while respecting and protecting everyone's rights.
