In a civil rights action by the Plaintiff (P) against the Defendant (D) (government police department) for the use of excessive force: Officers employed by the D executed an arrest warrant of the P at the P's home for failure to pay 60 parking tickets. It is undisputed that as soon as P opened her front door, she was grabbed by the officers and beat with their nightsticks until she lost consciousness. D claims that its officers acted reasonably based upon the belief that such force was necessary. In support of their defense, they wish to admit evidence that on two prior occasions not long before this arrest, P had acted violently when confronted with police officers. The two officers involved in this incident were not aware of the previous confrontations.

On what grounds, if any, can P object to the evidence being admitted and what arguments can be raised for or against the admission of the evidence? How should the court rule on the available objections?
