What constitutes Excessive Force and Police Brutality?

Excessive force and police brutality can take many forms. Some common examples include:

Unjustified Physical Force: When police officers use unnecessary or excessive physical force during an arrest, detention, or other interaction. This can include excessive use of handcuffs, tasers, batons, or firearms.

Unnecessary Use of Deadly Force: When law enforcement uses deadly force in situations where it is not warranted or when less forceful means could have been employed.

Verbal Abuse or Threats: Police officers may use demeaning, threatening, or discriminatory language that violates an individual’s civil rights.

Racial Profiling: Discriminatory behavior based on race, ethnicity, or nationality, leading to unlawful stops, searches, or arrests.

Unlawful Search and Seizure: Police actions that violate your Fourth Amendment rights, such as conducting searches without probable cause or a warrant.

Failure to Intervene: When officers fail to intervene to stop excessive force being used by fellow officers, leading to further harm.
