Thank you for asking me to edit your interesting paper on the use of excessive force. I have tried to make all grammar correct, and to help clarify your meaning. Normally it is not my function to add to the substance of a paper; however, in this case, and in light of your comments, I have added a definition of excessive force which i think is needed for the flow of your argument. Also, the Monroe v. Pape case only allowed a claim against the individual officers, not the city, so I have mentioned that this expansion came from later following cases. I think the References page appears in good order except that the line spacing between items is not always consistent. Good luck with your paper.
