@Rokaize Did you READ the complaint? Your understanding is wrong.
Your statement that guns drawn was "reasonable" under the circumstances of this case is purely conclusory, with no basis in the facts. The Graham v. Connor case stands for exactly the opposite principle: reasonableness is an objective standard. It is analogous to the "reasonable person" standard. It is not based on what these officers thought was reasonable, but on what a reasonable officer, properly trained (and not, say, prone to brutality or hysteria) would consider appropriate under all the facts and circumstances of the encounter. By your logic, that would allow almost anything. In fact, it does not. What in Graham v. Connor sounds to you like highly general language is in fact quite technical.
Naming something a felony stop, or devlaring it to be high risk does not make it so. Probable cause to believe a felony is in progress or is imminent is required. Why would a driver that does not speed up in response to sirens be considered a felon or high risk?
I used to advise judges on the law in the cases before them. So I wrote bench memoranda on the briefs and records of both sides, criminal and defense, federal level. Give it up. You thought insults would land?
