9-0 Ruling on excessive force under the 4th Amendment in Barnes v Felix.
As someone who's long held the cops are too trigger happy, I think this is good news.
The tragic parts:
The toll violations were on the plate of a rental car. Likely from before Barnes girlfriend rented it. Not even an arrestable offense.
Despite the claims of Felix that he smelled marijuana in the car, none was found.
Barnes trying to drive off was stupid.
I cannot help but think that if Felix had returned to his vehicle and resumed pursuit that Barnes would be alive today. If Felix had done this, he would not have been in the danger he felt he needed to shoot Barnes over.
The Supreme Court just agreed.
