The case of Tennessee v. Garner limited law enforcement’s use of deadly force. Does it go far enough, or too far in those limits? Write a brief paper discussing the circumstances you feel justify the use of deadly force by police. You have three options to discuss. You can agree with the current legal standard of reasonableness, or you can argue that this standard either gives too much protection to citizens or does not restrain police adequately. It does not matter what position you take, but your arguments and reasoning must make sense and support your position.
