⦁ A police officer engages in brutality against a victim when the officer has used excessive force against the victim. However, you must remember that the law provides policemen broad authority to complete their duties. Not every push or shove or form of intimidation by a police officer is an excessive use of force in the eyes of the law. Police officers are also entitled to a qualified immunity defense. This means that a lawsuit against a police officer can be thrown out of court if you do not prove that a clearly established federal law or constitutional right has been violated.
