I do believe that the case applies …The federal prosecutor states that Ram beaux violated a federal law making it a crime for a lot of the police officers. The common law rule allowed anything to affect the arrest of a fleeing felon and not a misdemeanor.  The state of Tennessee had intervened the statute and was appealed to the court. The city filed a petition and the petition was granted. Anytime an officer restrains the freedom of a person to walk away, he has then seized that person.

Statutory Law that states after notice of the intention to arrest a defendant, whether he flees or just resists the officer may use anything that’s nessacery for him to so to arrest someone. The constitutional provision that applies to this case is the use of deadly force to prevent the escape of an apparently unarmed suspected felon. That type of force can’t be used unless it is necessary to prevent escape, serious physical injury to an officer or poses of a threat to death. Criminal Law is considered a crime against a person or society and usually ends up getting jail time. Civil Law cases are a dispute of people that most likely gets recognition.

The president is over the executive branch which really makes laws official. The president passes out laws and recommends new ones, and also directs the government armed forces and ceremonial duties. The judicial branch deals with the court system of the U.S. It explains laws passed by congress and explains the meaning of constitution.  The Supreme Court directs whether a law is constitutional or unconstitutional or whether it is official under the constitution or not. The legislative branch is made up of the houses of congress which are the Senate and House of Representatives. The responsibility of this branch is to make and pass laws that are written, discussed, and voted on in congress. It also originates spending bills, impeaching officials and approving treaties. The senate and House of Representatives elect leaders. The majority and minority leader of the party judiciary.
