Palma v. Johns

Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Thu, 10/27/2022 - 10:54

Officer could not tase mentally disturbed subject “for refusing to stop and show his hands unless he had some other reason to fear for his safety,” “mere failure to follow orders would not lead a reasonable officer to believe that [the subject] posed a danger;” if subject fell to ground for some minutes after two applications of taser, then third taser application could not be justified; reversing qualified immunity for officer.
