How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that it was reasonable for officers to dis- charge their firearms in the plaintiff’s direction when they reasonably could have believed that the plaintiff presented a serious danger to the officers and innocent bystanders
• affirming grant of summary judgment to defendants officers where plaintiff “offered no counter-affidavit and pointed to no evidence that would call into question defendants’ submissions”
• analyzing excessive‐force claim at point where police “finally terminated” high‐speed chase
• “Pre-seizure police conduct cannot serve as a basis for liability under the Fourth Amendment; we limit our analysis to force used when a seizure occurs.”
• “[I]t is reasonable for a law enforcement officer to use deadly force if an objectively reasonable officer in the same circumstances would conclude that the suspect posed a threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to others.”
