I predict this thread will languish behind the 76,509th "OMG Trump tweeted something REALLY STUPID! today" in General Discussion, especially strange given that this forum has 76,509 lawyers in it. I guess they don't like giving advice for "free."

As far as this particular case goes, I suppose the fact the defendant had a knife made lethal force "necessary" by the police, and that was what the Court agreed with. But I am distressed about the reasoning behind it -- "'clearly established' rights that a 'reasonable person would have known'" is just as atrocious a rule as "fear for my life".
