a landmark decision called Tennessee v. Garner in 1985. The court ruled that the use of deadly force by law enforcement is only justified when there is an immediate threat to the officer's life or the lives of others. This decision established the "objective reasonableness" standard for evaluating the use of deadly force.

Can a police officer bring a narcotic issue in to the federal system?

If what you mean by a federal system you mean a supreme court, then NO. The only person who can bring a case to the supreme court is a lower court. Typically a case will get heard in a circuit court, then if contested, the findings will be reviewed by an appeals court and if it gets farther than that it will be reviewed by a state supreme court and eventually (only if it is a federal issue) it will be heard by the US supreme court. So technically a police officer can't bring it there, but he/she can be the initiator of the case on the lower level.Cheers!
