Graham vs Connor

whole wheat flour vs. Connor On February 21st, 1989 Dethorn Graham, a diabetic was having an insulin reference reaction. He called his lifter cull and asked if he could election him up and take him to buy succus from the local convenience depot to grab the reaction. When he arrived at the memory board Graham noticed the hanker stock at the cash register and decided the deferral was similarly long. He ran out of the store and got back into Berrys gondola and asked if he could take him to a friends house around the corner.A metropolis police policeman, Connor, was on patrol when he noticed Graham enter the store and leave quickly, and became suspicious. The police officer followed Berrys elevator car and performed an investigative stop. Connor had both manpower sit and wait while the officer made sure nothing had asleep(p) on inside of the store. Responding back up police arrived on scene and did not listen to Grahams comment of his condition. The handcuffed him and ru ffed him up a little in the process, Graham received multiple injuries.Officer Connor permit Graham go after discovering that he had done nothing wrong. Graham prolong multiple injuries. Graham filed a equity suit in the District coquet under against all respondents, stating that Connor and the other officers had use excessive force in do the stop, in violation of Grahams 14th amendment. In this case in that respect are m whatever things that Graham and Connor could do differently. Being a diabetic I moot that Graham should eat been provided an insulin vista and he should cast it on him at all times.Also when entering the store I confide that Graham should remove alerted a worked or the people in line that he was having a reaction and to cater him to move to the front of the line. I believe that Graham could induct been nicer to the officer, when he was in the car Graham stated, If he thinks Im qualifying to sit here in the car while Im dying to wait for him to visua lise out something when at that place really is nothing. (1) If he would have explained to the officer that he was having a sugar type reaction the officer whitethorn have been more(prenominal) helpful.There were a few things that the officer did that he could have done differently to stop any problems. First Connor did a good bank line in making an investigation stop, imputable to the suspiciousness Graham displayed. When Connor pulled over Berry and noticed something wrong with Graham that should have become the main focus of the officer. by and by Berry told the office that his friend was having an insulin type reaction, Connor should have immediately called an ambulance. This way there is no problem and that Graham would not be in harm.The officers should not have been as tough as they were with Graham, unless he was fighting, then the appropriate force should have been utilise. If not then the force was unnecessary. I believe that the officers were not right in what they d id. I believe that Graham had a serious medical condition and was not being treated for it. I believe the force used against Graham was used not to protect but to estimable cause harm. There was no proved evidence that graham did anything wrong.The officer was handout all off what he believed may have been a crime, and in the long run could have caused a more serious injury to Graham. I do not believe that a soul should just be able to kvetch that they were being mistreated without and evidence, because that would happen too often by people who need easy money.
