My brother Juston was shot over 30 times by 6 officers at point blank range while on the ground, incapacitated w/nothing in his hands. Only 1 BWC w/blackouts. An independent investigation is critical for #Accountability #TruthMatters

despite all that, the 1st Cir. Court of appeals cherry picked evidence & denied my family&the public a right to a jury trial! They’re about letting officers kill w/impunity. Shame on them! To allow officers to continue to use excessive force with zero consequences puts US ALL in DANGER! #WakeUp

That’s true. #JusticeforJustonRoot why because #TruthMatters
Why because the officers met together prior to their interview (which took place 5 days after they shot 31 bullets into Juston, he was incapacitated, covered in blood with NOTHING in his hands. So much for accountability Andrea.

Couple problems here. First, Carnes (and many other judges/justices) assume law enforcement officers and other government officials are actually reading the cases that clearly establish the law for qualified immunity purposes-when they most certainly are not. lawreview.uchicago.edu/sites/defaul...

the change in circumstances caused by the car accident & Root’s resulting physical and mental condition are irrelevant to the totality of the circumstances. Barnes, in contrast, does not involve the same type of change in circumstances.
