“Hands up, don’t shoot!” – Black Lives Matter Protestors
Unfortunately, police officers routinely abuse the powers given to them, whether by assaulting civilians, falsely arresting innocent people, or committing gross violations of citizens’ civil rights. Though the law protects people from excessive force, false imprisonment, and other police misconduct, these abuses tragically still happen all the time.
Paula Greisen has represented people accused of crimes and fought to protect their due process rights before she began bringing lawsuits against police officers in the private sector.
Cases against police officers are very difficult to win, but Greisen Law has the experience to hold officers accountable when they violate citizens’ civil rights.
Paula Greisen represented a nurse who was terrorized by police officers conducting an “active shooter” drill. The lawsuit alleged that a police officer posing as an “active shooter” took the nurse “hostage” without informing her the drill was fake, and held her at gunpoint for the duration of the “drill.”
