Poole on Behalf of Brian Steven Poole Estate v. City of Shreveport

Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Tue, 09/12/2023 - 15:10

Court credited officer’s testimony he could not see subject’s left hand at time he shot him, thus officer reasonably believed he was reaching for a gun and the use of deadly force was reasonable, although in fact subject was unarmed and dashcam video showed that, and subject had been pursued by police solely for failing to pull over for motor vehicle offenses.
