I've contributed infinitely more logical comments to this thread than you could ever hope to contribute.

Wait a min. here, are you claiming talking to a criminal is " force"?.

It's a level of force, yes. We don't expect your pea brain to understand this.

Should we have an LEO send them a f-ing candy gram w/flowers instead??.

What the hell are you babbling about?

Looky here. Another guy who doesn't have a clue.


This is from an article on a Use of Force Model by George Godoy-


Level One

Officer Presence. The mere presence of a police officer in uniform or in a marked police unit is often enough to stop a crime in progress or prevent most situations from escalating. Without saying a word, the mere presence of a police officer can deter crime by the simple use of body language and gestures. At this level gestures should be non-threatening and professional. This "zero" level of force is always the best way to resolve any situation if possible.



So yeah, according to the use of force model/continuum that every LEO in the United States of America is taught, verbal contact is a level of force.

Here's a blurb about the author-
