CSAC has filed a brief in the US Supreme Court on the issue of what standards the court should apply when evaluating an officer’s use of force.  After an unsuccessful effort in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, CSAC’s brief argues that Supreme Court review is needed because the Ninth Circuit is not following the Supreme Court’s established standards for evaluating constitutional claims involving use of force when there is a mistaken, but reasonable, belief that a suspect is holding and refusing the drop a weapon. CSAC’s brief was drafted by Lee Roistacher at Daley & Heft in Solana Beach.
