Abstract

The public is well aware of the use of deadly force by police. Daily, news programs carry images of such violence in vivid color. Whether the force exhibited by police officers in the course of their work is excessive is a question for which an answer is sought in every phase of the political system. City commissioners try to maintain a good image of their city. Police chiefs emphasize the effectiveness of their police force.
