Police say the force used was justified. Internal Affairs ruled the excessive force complaint unfounded. But the footage has sparked a wider debate about police discretion, escalation during traffic stops, and the legal standards courts use to evaluate use of force. In this video we break down the timeline of the incident and explain the legal framework established by Graham v. Connor, which courts use to determine whether police force is considered objectively reasonable. That standard focuses on three factors: • severity of the suspected crime • whether the suspect posed an immediate threat • whether the suspect was actively resisting or attempting to flee The real question many viewers are asking is simple: Did this situation actually justify the level of force used? 👀 Thin Blue Lies, Baby! #PoliceAccountability #TrafficStop #GrahamvConnor #KnowYourRights #PoliceBodycam #PoliceUseOfForce #ThinBlueLies
