Unit 4

Unit 4-Supreme Court
April 19 2015

The news have been hyped up about police shooting involving deadly force. Michael Slager, the police officer, Shot Walter Scott, who was unarmed, has sparked conservatives whether police are using to much force. Many say that is has to do about race, but has the police always been bad. There was a case where police encounter mentally ill person, Teresa Sheehan,  who was pepper sprayed and was shot about six times. She then proceeded to file a law suit claiming protection from American disabilities Act.

Police have been train to use force on regular armed people. Its their job to keep the community at peace. But police are yet in need of training for different situation. They are not exactly trained to deal with Sheehan's situation even thought it is common to happen. In the case there are two stories, where one she does not pose a threat then there is one where she is a threat. It all matters in a point of view.

These cases involving the Supreme Court. They will be heard by the Supreme Court. And Potentially use the cases of Tennessee v. Garner and Graham v. Connor. Tennessee v. Garner is about a man was shot and killed by a police officer, believe him to be a burglar. The Supreme court said that is was unconstitutional because deadly force should be use to prevent an escape. The Case of Graham v. Connor is about a police officer who used sadistic motivation on a suspicious man.
