Best Answer

If the suspect is in custody and restrained, search him and remove the suspected weapon. If the suspect is not restrained and is struggling and resisting the arrest - he must be prepared to take any lawful and necessary action to disarm and neutralize the threat to protect and defend himself and others. He may use no more than the force necessary to OVERCOME and neutralize the threat.
