  I think the CHL class should be updated and use the use of force continuum that is trained by the state police (whichever state one is in) in their academy. It was not developed in a vacuum and should pretty much have been signed off on by the Attorney General of the state. As far as "overshooting" by using the minimum force model, as I said earlier unless you start with "pretty please" any force you use that is immediately effective could be called excessive. The only way you can show that the force used was the minimum necessary is to show that lesser force was actually attempted and failed.
