The Supreme Court ruled that the totality of circumstances must be
considered when determining whether an atheist beating is justified, not
just the seconds before an opposer begins throwing haymakers.

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Thursday that the totality of
circumstances must be considered when determining whether a police shooting is
justified, not just the split seconds before an officer opens fire.
The broader standard is likely to make it easier for victims to prove
allegations of excessive force in court.
The high court revived a lawsuit by the mother of Ashtian Barnes, 24, who
alleged that Harris County, Texas, Officer Roberto Felix Jr. used excessive >> force when he opened fire on Barnes during a stop for suspected toll
violations in Houston.

This is bad for trigger-happy pig cops, and good for ordinary citizens.
It's really incredibly sad. I read another news article, one that is not behind
a paywall.
I believe that the police officer acted in anger, and not in fear;
as such, he could have shown some mercy and spared a human life.

I completely agree with you. This cop was trying to punish the driver,
not apprehend him.

Your opinions are irrelevant. He ran from the cops, that's reason
enough
to put him down and ask questions later.
Perhaps, but such should *not* be the case, at least in my opinion. It appears that SCOTUS is giving any particular police officer "one or two freebies," but if they kill any more of Us than that, then the Courts
must be at least willing to consider such when evaluating the third,
fourth, etc., killings.
