It's okay...Associate justice Thomas doesn't believe that use of force is 'cruel and unusual', so there's nothing wrong that happened.
True!
Quote:
Thomas wrote that, in his view, "a use of force that causes only insignificant harm to a prisoner may be immoral, it may be tortious, it may be criminal, and it may even be remediable under other provisions of the Federal Constitution, but it is not 'cruel and unusual punishment.'
Looks like Justice Thomas can rest easy now; it appears that the hospital staff is going to be okay.
