Videos tagged with Law Enforcement Use of Force

This video, hosted by Instructor Mike, delves into the critical differences between civilian and law enforcement use of force. It emphasizes that while law enforcement operates under specific legal frameworks like the Fourth Amendment and objective reasonableness standards, civilians must navigate a more complex landscape influenced by individual circumstances, past traumas, and the principle of proportional response. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding disparity of force, the limitations of standardized use-of-force models, and the critical need for civilians to fight with the skills they possess, prioritizing de-escalation and disengagement when possible. The legal ramifications of statements made after an incident are also stressed, advocating for the 'legal be quiet' protocol.
