Re: Use of force and case law.

GRAHAM and the other cases refers to federal court statutory civil rights claims and 4th Amendment considerations. There are state court civil actions sounding in statutory remedies, assault, negligence and other tort claims plus, of course, exposure to criminal liability.

Some similar standards are bound to be found as defenses in the other actions but, the cited cases are analyzed as to minimal constitutional requirements and the civil rights statute and the other causes of actions have their own applicable and often broader standards of conduct.

Reference to these particular cases is useful but an insufficient guide when it comes to other forms of civil liability for use of force. situations.

Heavy bag drills, front, side and roundhouse kicks from the ground drills and diving for loose weapons with a forward momentum somersault/shoulder roll out of the way of the ground action. Managed not to get injured for that one.
