Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
excessive force
My son was out pass curfew when a
cop tried to stop him. My son who is
16 refused to stop. The cop told him
he was going to hand-cuff him and
take him in. My son tried to keep his
hands moving so that the cop could
not hand-cuff him. The cop called for
back up. They then slmammed my
son against a metal fence, fraturing
both his cheek bones. They took
him to the police station, then
juvenile hall and then to the
hospital. Did they use excessive
force against a minor?

Re: excessive force
Your son is lucky it wasn't worse.
You are assuming he was truthful with you. My experience is that I would question your boy thoroughly, and my best guess is that your boy had a juvenile record before this!
Re: excessive force
No way of saying from your description. Any witnesses?
Re: excessive force
No. He was resisting arrest.
