B. Discuss the constitutional legality of the action by applying the standard as

proscribed in Graham v. Conner to determine if the action was justified: The actions of

the police must be “objectively reasonable” when each these following 5 factors are

considered:

1. The severity of the crime in question

2. The apparent threat posed by the suspect

3. Whether the suspect was trying to resist or flee

4. The 'reasonableness' of a particular use of force must be judged from the

perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, rather than with the 20/20 vision of

hindsight.”

5. Actions are to judged from the perspective of aREASONABLE officer within a tense,

rapidly - evolving situation



C. In addition to the above, include in your presentation and written report, a response

to these questions:

1. Was the action in all or part due to a “miscalculation, misperception or

misunderstanding”.

2. Was any kind of bias indicated?

3. In hindsight, recommend an acceptable alternate course of action?

4. In your opinion, would the application of Procedural Justice protocols been

effective? Why or why not?
