In Above the Law, law student Renwei Chung discusses the current Supreme Court case looking at police shootings of people with disabilities.

Chung reviews a number of incidents of police shootings of people suffering psychological problems, and posts a link to a video of a man with a pocket knife, surrounded by eight police officers and an aggressive police dog, ultimately dying in a hail of bullets. “After seeing the video, do you believe the police officers used excessive force?” writes Chung.

  1. How cowardly , heartless, criminal, and tragic. I’ve seen how they circle the wagons after murdering people in a hail of gunfire who have no guns to shoot back . Are they trying to use their own version of shock and awe ? Maybe the supreme court will stop future brutal heartless murders by “police officers” and bring those “police officers” who’ve already murdered innocent people to justice. No justice No peace .
