What are some of the concerns noted in the book about placing an officer charged with the unlawful use of deadly force in front of a judge or jury? How do you think an officer who has committed this offense should be handled?
What will be an ideal response?
We may question whether it is fair to place the fate of a police officer who is charged with the unlawful employment of deadly force in the hands of a judge or jury who may not fully appreciate the pressures confronting an officer who is required to make a split-second decision. On the other hand, some commentators argue that the law is ineffective in controlling the police use of deadly force because the utilization of deadly force in many instances occurs in situations in which there are few witnesses and that the judge and jury typically must rely on the well-rehearsed testimony of the police.
