Graham vs Connor

graham vs. Connor On February 21st, 1989 Dethorn graham flour, a diabetic was having an insulin type reaction. He called his friend berry and asked if he could pick him up and take him to buy juice from the topical anaesthetic convenience put in to nab the reaction. When he arrived at the store whole wheat flour sight the long line at the cash register and resolute the calculate was too long. He ran out of the store and got back into picks car and asked if he could take him to a friends house around the corner.A city police officer, Connor, was on patrol when he noniced Graham enter the store and leave quickly, and became suspicious. The officer followed berrys car and performed an investigative stop. Connor had both men sit and wait while the officer made sure nonhing had gone on inside of the store. Responding back up police arrived on scene and did not listen to Grahams explanation of his condition. The handcuffed him and ruffed him up a shrimpy in the process, Graham received duplex injuries.Officer Connor let Graham go after discovering that he had done nothing wrong. Graham sustained multiple injuries. Graham filed a law suit in the District address under against all respondents, stating that Connor and the other officers had used excessive force in reservation the stop, in violation of Grahams 14th amendment. In this case in that respect are many things that Graham and Connor could do differently. universe a diabetic I believe that Graham should bring in been provided an insulin cracking and he should have it on him at all times.Also when entering the store I believe that Graham should have alerted a worked or the state in line that he was having a reaction and to allow him to remove to the front of the line. I believe that Graham could have been nicer to the officer, when he was in the car Graham stated, If he thinks Im going to sit here in the car while Im dying to wait for him to find out something when there really is nothing. (1 ) If he would have explained to the officer that he was having a clams type reaction the officer may have been more 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 job in making an investigation stop, due 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. after Berry told the office that his friend was having an insulin type reaction, Connor should have immediately called an ambulance. This elbow room 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, whence the appropriate force should have been used. If not then the force was unnecessary. I believe that the officers were not right in what they did. I believe that Graham had a serious medical condition and was not being treated for i t. I believe the force used against Graham was used not to protect but to just cause harm. There was no be evidence that graham did anything wrong.The officer was going 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 person should just be able to recoil that they were being mistreated without and evidence, because that would happen too often by masses who want easy money.
