Pennsylvania Police Brutality Attorneys
If you have been victimized by police brutality or any other type of excessive force on the part of law enforcement officials, you may have both a personal injury claim and a civil rights claim. Please contact a lawyer if you are wondering whether the injury you suffered at the hands of a police officer rises to the level of police brutality or excessive force.
The Vast Majority of Police Understand the Proper Use of Force
The rough handling of suspects by police officers is not necessarily unusual or even inappropriate under certain circumstances. At Clymer & Musser, P.C., located in Lancaster (Philadelphia area), our lawyers understand and appreciate that the majority of police officers do a fine job of balancing the enforcement of law and public order with the protection of citizens' rights and dignity.
Civil Rights Violations Are Rare
Law enforcement is an altogether challenging and dangerous occupation. However, while we have the utmost respect for law enforcement officials, we simply cannot condone police behavior which causes someone great physical and/or emotional harm.
Thousands of police in Philadelphia or Baltimore may do their job ethically, but from time to time, there may be one or two who unnecessarily harm someone whom they seek to subdue through use of a taser, bean bag gun or baton.
Was Your Taser Gun/Stun Gun Injury a Result of Police Misconduct?
Your taser gun/stun gun injury in combination with other aspects of your arrest may indicate that the treatment you received from the police did not constitute the proper use of force. If you believe that you have suffered unjust abuse at the hands of law enforcement officials, that your loved one was unjustly killed while in police custody or that your 4th Amendment or 8th Amendment rights have been violated, contact an attorney at Clymer & Musser, P.C. in Lancaster to schedule a consultation.
