Although police officers in Buffalo carry some authority with regards to how they enforce the laws, they are certainly not 100% impervious to prosecution. Police officers may be violating fundamental civil rights laws at any point in time—the arrest, during an interrogation, and even during trial.
Section 1983 is a civil rights statute that protects individuals who have been arrested for lack of good cause. It also gives individuals in Buffalo the right to sue police officers for any violations of those rights.

The laws currently state that police officers are allowed to use force when making an arrest if the situation calls for it. Tourefore, if the person who is being arrested acts in aggression, the police have the right to react forcefully. When the case is brought to court, it is up to the jury to decide whetour or not the police officer acted rightfully during the arrest, and whetour or not the actions warranted the officer's reaction.
