I was told an adolescent was in the ER and released. The Social Worker told me an officer punched the said adolescent in the eye. I'm not a lawyer, first of all. I'm a nurse inquirying about the amount of restraint allowed. I am not aware of what the adolescent was doing and am not aware of any weapons that he carried if any at all. I've worked with troubled youth but was under the impression that there is a limit to restraint which doesn't include a punch to the face. Thanks for your enlightenment here in NY!
P.S. I'm new and like the icons here, esp. the horse, lol!

Your impression is incorrect. Anything up to and including lethal force is authorized depending on the circumstances. Since NONE of us here knows the circumstances (including you) you'll never find out here on the interwebz why it happened.
Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.

For Sgt. Slaughter: Kindly don't respond to my inquiries. I am specific in my inquiries and am not open to out of NYS folks unless I specifically ask for the advice. Do not comment and eliminate boredom elsewhere. Thanks!

You're welcome to pack up and go home. Go down the street to a police station and ask them there - in person. On the internet, you don't get to pick and choose who responds and at what time. Originally Posted by BoroughsRN

Use of force is pretty standard across the board. There isn't any "special dispensation" because the cops are in NYC.Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.

The long and short is that you can take whatever answers you are given by whomever deigns to respond - or you can leave. It's that simple.
What you may NOT do, is come in here like an overbearing, order-giving blowhard, and INSTRUCT on who is to respond to you.
You found your way in here easily enough - so the way out should be familiar.Click HERE for a common sense tutorial on posting at RealPolice.net.

Wow... unprovoked bitchiness is a heck of a way to make a first impression. Originally Posted by BoroughsRN

In NY the use of force is guided by the law, and department guidelines. The law does not make a distinction based on age of the perp, and department guidelines are internal department documents, not for the public.
How old was this kid? NYS Penal law makes someone who commits a crime an adult at 16, and for some serious felonies, as young as 13, as a juvenile offender.
And BTW the uses of force don't differ much from state to state, so force in Arizona is pretty much the same as force in NY, and the other 48 states, and DC.DONLON
I mean, we're getting killed for these people and they don't even appreciate it. They think it's a big joke.

This post is simply because I'm obstinate and don't respond well to overbearing, micromanaging and bossy idiots who think they run the Internet. Originally Posted by BoroughsRN

Sage advice. Since I'm not from NYS, I will not comment. If I had commented, I would have told you to POUND SAND!! Good thing I'm not from NYS. Also, I'm still bored. Originally Posted by BoroughsRN
