On Monday, #SCOTUS relisted two @IJ cert petitions, indicating interest in the cases: 1. King v. Brownback, a police brutality case that's been to SCOTUS before, and 2. Gonzalez v. Trevino, a #FirstAmendment retaliation and #QualifiedImmunity case. ij.org/press-release/…
Thurgood Marshall, LDF's founder, and the first Black Justice, was sworn into the Supreme Court #OTD in 1967. His visionary legal work at the Legal Defense Fund was an unrivaled contribution to the Civil Rights Movement and helped change the arc of American history forever.
Jurors typically aren’t informed that municipalities will pay any judgment against their officer - and defense counsel sometimes suggest, inaccurately, that officers will be held personally responsible - leading to just this kind of result.

NEW. NYPD stops are skyrocketing under Mayor Adams’ administration, rivaling numbers from the height of stop-and-frisk during the Giuliani years. Help protect your communities by sharing Legal Aid Society’s 'Know Your Rights' campaign: legalaidnyc.org/YourRightsYour… #YourRightsYourPower
As we've seen time after time in countless police departments across the country, when police are asked to police themselves, officers are rarely held accountable for misconduct. The New York State Police is no exception. wgrz.com/article/news/l…
A federal judge denied the city of Atlanta’s appeal trying to pause the “Stop Cop City” referendum petition drive. Organizers with the Vote to Stop Cop City coalition claim they have gathered close to 80,000 signatures. blackenterprise.com/atlantas-stop-…
Under qualified immunity, courts often allow officers to justify deadly shootings on the basis of hypothetical possibilities even when there is no supporting evidence. #endQI engage.nlg-npap.org/node/183739
Currently, in cases where an officer claims they used force bc a person was holding a weapon, that person has to prove that a "reasonable" officer could not have that the weapon posed a risk. This is, unfortunately, almost impossible to do. #endQI
Yesterday we filed a brief advocating to eliminate qualified immunity as a defense & make the Fourth Amendment’s objective reasonableness standard less burdensome. Here's what's that means: 🧵 #endQI

Indiana’s new law suppresses free speech rights & limits police accountability. Especially for people of color, the right to record officers is a critical tool. It is no accident that high-profile cases of police brutality have involved video recordings. wishtv.com/news/multicult…
The NYPD has a long history of bad behavior and resisting change nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…: My op ed in today’s NY Daily News: Stats/history reflect hard truth many NYers find hard to accept re its lionized #NYPD: its longtime practice of targeting & criminalizing NYers of color.
A new report adds to a growing line of research showing that police departments don’t solve serious or violent crimes with any regularity, and in fact, spend very little time on crime control, in contrast to popular narratives. reuters.com/legal/governme…

Opinion: Qualified immunity must end to hold police accountable and restore public trust [Opinion] dlvr.it/SsL1kk
The city of Compton has the highest number of @LASDHQ shootings in LA County. People whose family members have been killed have had their lives, physical and mental health, changed forever. For my latest, residents share how they've been able to survive. knock-la.com/life-under-the…
As LAPD officers negotiate a new pay contract, expect more examples like this of police holding city finances hostage. Meanwhile, more than 2,300 of the cops covered by the pending contract were paid OVER $250,000 in 2022 payroll. More than 9,200 were paid six figures. THREAD:
Today marks 9 years since #NYPD officers murdered #EricGarner during an unconstitutional stop. We send love to @GwenCarrERIC & his family & continue to stand with them demanding all officers & city officials responsible for Eric's death & the subsequent cover-up are fired.
—Ban no-knock warrants —Ban chokeholds & —End qualified immunity That’s the tweet.
Mental health emergencies are medical emergencies. We need trained professionals to provide support and care — not a police officer with a gun. dcist.com/story/23/07/06…
