Default Excessive Force?
Yesterday Orlando Officer broke neck of 83 year old Vet. Officer stated that the man was drunk, during the course of their interaction, the officer felt "threatened". His reaction to this 83 year old, was to pick him up and body slam his head into concrete. If the officer had this much physical power, why didn't he just restrain him or call for back up, was this much "muscle" required? The lawyers are going to have a hay-day with this one!
