Episode 33: Use of Force Case Law (Part 2)

Hosts Thom Safrin and Chris Findley discuss the landmark use of force cases and the ideas principles that dictate procedural law today in the United States.  Graham v. Connor gave us the objective reasonableness standard.  Thom and Chris contrast Tennessee v. Garner and point out misunderstandings that some officers, and even trainers, may have.

Thom and Chris also discuss officer safety and discuss Terry v. Ohio and its relatedness to use of force.  They further discuss and exchange some humor about video, internet video, media use of partial video and discuss the need for education for all on the differences between what is recorded on video and what an officer may perceive in the actual event when things are rapidly evolving.  Today's episode is at least an essential review for officers or to understand this case law and affect the mental approach of law enforcement that lead to physical actions.
