💨 Abstract

The U.S. Supreme Court is considering reviving a Texas woman's civil rights lawsuit against a Houston police officer who fatally shot her son during a traffic stop. The case could make it easier for plaintiffs to show excessive force by police. The court questioned whether lower courts improperly focused on the "moment of threat" to the officer, excluding actions leading up to the deadly episode.
