Use of Force Pro Tip

I'm certain that most of you that will read this are well versed in Graham v. Conner. And by that you should be well versed in the 'Graham factors'. Put an officer on the stand that has been trained and certified by the state and before you start in with the force they chose to use, I recommend asking them about their knowledge of this case which is THE case that all uses of force are judged in.

I would bet that they will stammer and stutter and then try to give you something different. What might that be? They will start giving you 'Use of Force factors'. The catch though is that they won't understand what 'Use of Force factors' really are/ mean and even how they apply let alone how they can overlap the 'Graham Factors'.

The tip is how can an officer explain their Use of Force and the reasoning behind it if they can not even explain the case law that in a sense gives them that authority?

Law enforcement is of course necessary and force (reasonable) is used in every arrest but officers should know and understand reasonable force and NOT act under 'Contempt of cop' because of their own ignorance and arrogance.

Still out here trying to make a difference and fighting the good fight.
