Intro: The senate gave first round approval to a bill modifying the use of force.
Amy Becker takes us to the Missouri senate floor where there was an empassioned debate over the issue.
Emotions ran high when the bill's sponsor Republican Senator Jack Goodman came under harsh questioning from Democratic Saint Louis Senator Joan Bray.
Bray says she questions if this problem occurs as much as Goodman thinks and whether it is as important as any other issue the senate deals with.
Reporting from the State Capitol, I'm Amy Becker.
