IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO, YOU MUST WATCH THE VIDEO “EVALUATING USE OF FORCE” BEFORE COMPLETING THIS DISCUSSION.
Police Use of Force Assignment:
WARNING: These videos contain citizen-police interactions that result in a variety of uses of force, including deadly force. Video #2 and #8 display a potentially graphic incident due to the closer view (labeled as such). If you chose, you may skip watching video #2 and #8.
First, watch this video – Evaluating Use of Force. Afterward, click “Police Use of Force Videos” to access and watch the associated use of force videos (there are 8 total videos – you are to choose only from the videos provided). You can also access the videos by opening the page in Module 3 titled “Police Use of Force Videos.”
Assignment:
A.) Review all of the short police use of force videos via the above link. Each use of force video is relatively short (some have been edited to the desired length, which is stated prior to each video). Please view and evaluate only the included/stated portion of each video (do not review the entire video if you are directed to use only a specific time frame). You are to only use the incident details that are provided (because the officers involved only have that limited info) and what is observed in the video when analyzing the officer’s use of force.
B.) After reviewing the videos, chose one video to report on (title your initial discussion post with the video name – for example, if I watched the video titled “Guy on Moped” – that would then be the title of my initial discussion post).
C.) Using the standard discussion response guidelines, please compose an initial discussion post analyzing the following issues by FRIDAY 09/23/22 at 11:59PM:
1.) Describe all of the force intervention option levels (also termed “modes”) of force the officer employed during the incident, from lowest to highest. Identify the levels by name (such as saying the action was “level 4, protective alternatives”).
a.) Include a description of the requirements needed to use that level of force (or what resistance/threat that level of force is designed to overcome). Be specific using ONLY the material FROM MODULE 2 AND 3 PowerPoints/lectures titled “Use of Force,” “Force Intervention Options,” and “Deadly Force” to cite the exact levels of force used and the qualifications for that level. DO NOT USE FIGURE 6.1 FROM PG. 161 – IT IS NOT ACCURATE IN WISCONSIN (it will result in a loss of points).
2.) Detail the suspect’s (or suspects’) behavior (physically and verbally). What resistance levels did they demonstrate, if applicable, and how? What threat levels did the suspect(s) display, if applicable? Did the suspect(s) do, say, or prepare themselves in any other way that would have given the officer insight into what the suspect was going to do next or to the event?
3.) Utilizing the lecture material on use of force and legality/requirements, explain whether or not the officer was justified in all the levels of force they employed. Support your response with legal requirements, suspect behavior, and/or officer actions. If the officer used several levels, but was only justified in one or two, explain this as well. If the officer legally needed to use a different level of force, explain that level and what the officer should have done to be in compliance with use of force law.
a.) If you deem the officer in the video you are analyzing responded with an incorrect level of force, what should their punishment be and why?
4.) Define “objective reasonableness.” Does a video recording show everything that a human being saw, why or why not?
D.) Review your groups’ use of force video analyses. Choose another student’s video analysis to respond to (this student’s analysis MUST be on a video different from yours). Make a response post to at least one other student’s initial discussion post (again using the discussion response guidelines) by SUNDAY 09/25/22 at 11:59PM. Include the following:
Identify issues that they may not have included (like a missed level of force or suspect behavior) or cite information that would further support or refute their statements.
Determine if their use of force assessment was correct, or if they missed a component.

Incident #4: “Hwy 131 Chase”
WARNING: Considered GRAPHIC due to the close positioning (you may skip if you wish).
Officers in Grand Rapids, Wyoming, are sent to check the welfare of a 27 year old woman after a mother called the police to report that her son, Nolin, admitted to her that he shot and killed his girlfriend (the 27 year old woman). Officers responded and found the woman had been shot to death. Police spotted the suspect (Nolin) driving a short time later and tried to stop him, but he fled and a vehicle chase ensued. During the chase, an officer used a PIT maneuver to spin the suspect’s truck out on Hwy 131 (do not include the PIT maneuver in the use of force discussion). The suspect then exits the truck. The officers actions that you are evaluating are in the first squad video you see (the second angle/part of the video is a new angle on the first officer’s actions).

Incident #5: “No Tests”
WARNING: Contains inappropriate language.
An Ohio State Patrol trooper stops a motorist for multiple traffic violations (swerving and crossing the center line). The officer smells intoxicants/alcohol on the motorist’s breath and asks the motorist to perform a series of field sobriety tasks because the officer believes the motorist is intoxicated (drunk driving). When the motorist refuses, the officer advises him that he is under arrest for drunk driving (which is legal if the tests are refused) and orders him to turn around (to be handcuffed). The motorist refuses.

Incident #6: “Las Vegas Hostage”
WARNING: Considered GRAPHIC due to the close positioning (you may skip if you wish).
On November 11, an officer responds to a local gas station on report of a fight between a male and female. Upon exiting the squad, a female can be heard screaming loudly. When the officer approaches and asks “What’s going on?” the male suspect (on the left) and the female victim (on the right) are close together on the gas station sidewalk. The officer initially has a taser in his hand, then sees that the suspect has a handgun pointed at the female – making this a hostage type situation. For the purposes of this assignment, the officer with the body camera (the view we are watching) fired the first two rounds (heard at time stamp 1:44 and 1:45). It is the actions of this officer (and those two shots) that are being evaluated.

Incident #7: “Idaho”
WARNING: Contains inappropriate language.
On May 18, at approximately 5:21PM, Idaho State Trooper Talbott responded to a citizen’s report of a reckless driver. Trooper Talbott located the vehicle described in the complaint and observed it on radar traveling 48MPH in a posted 35MPH zone. Trooper Talbott initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle did not stop when signaled to do so, continued driving down the road (despite the officer using lights/siren), and then eventually proceeded down a driveway and stopped in a remote location on the driver’s own property. The driver was Randall Ellenwood and there was one passenger in the vehicle. During initial contact, Trooper Talbott smelled intoxicants/alcohol on Ellenwood’s breath and believed he was operating while under the influence (drunk driving).

Incident #9: “Yuma”
A Yuma County (AZ) Sheriff’s Deputy is dispatched to an “in-progress” domestic violence/assault call (the deputy has backup coming, but the back up is approximately 30 minutes away). The wife is the victim (who called police) and the husband is the reported offender. The victim is still at the scene and reports that the husband is believed to have been drinking alcohol. At the beginning of the video, the deputy is the shorter male on the right and the domestic violence offender is the taller male on the left. The deputy has already arrived on scene and, while he is getting out of his squad, the offender exits the house and meets the deputy in the front yard. At this point the wife begins filming the incident.
