...a police officer who arrived late at the scene of a confrontation and then shot and killed the suspect without having heard other officers issue a warning is protected from a lawsuit. ...The court said the officer couldn’t be sued because there was no case on the books finding an officer liable under the exact same circumstances.

This decision makes it much harder to sue the police...

...the court is signaling that it wants fewer suits against officers...

...Police charged with violating constitutional rights ordinarily assert a defense known as “qualified immunity.” What that means is that a lawsuit against them cannot proceed unless it alleges that their conduct violated clearly established federal law. Following this script, White argued that there was no clearly established federal law prohibiting his conduct in shooting Samuel.
