now the suspect clearly resisted when
she did not comply with the police's
request to enter the patrol car she
repeatedly questioned why she was being
arrested and and although the officer
clearly explained to her the suspect
continued to portray herself as the
victim once again accusing the officer
of illegally opening her car door and
using Force without
justification under Indiana code 353
314 police have the right to open a car
door and use Force when necessary to
arrest a criminal officers are permitted
to arrest individuals if they commit a
felony in the officer's presence or if
the officer is reasonable cause to
believe that the individual has
committed a felony the precedent set by
Graham V Connor requires the use of
force to be evaluated from the
perspective of a reasonable officer on
the scene this means officers can use
Force if they believe it is necessary to
protect themselves or others or to
prevent a suspect from
escaping

like it must be said that the police
were very patient in persuading the
suspect despite her constant refusals
the police tried to explain politely and

uncooperative forcing the police to use
additional Force to place her into the
car this was only the beginning as her
resistance worsened significantly during
