#SupremeCourt sides with 83-year-old woman forced to her knees during #trafficstop
#LEO who pulled Elise Brown over thought car she was driving had been stolen – mistakenly, it turns out – following their protocol, they drew their handguns, handcuffed Brown and forced her to her knees. Court ruled in favor of the 83year old, "conduct was not reasonable; it was extraordinarily dangerous and flatly inconsistent with the #FourthAmendment's prohibition on excessive force."
