Atlanta shooting - Precedence in Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)

It looks like a kick but could be a trip or something else. I'd guess something else because why is everything else video but said kick is not.

This needs to get to a jury asap, where the jury will be given instructions based on the actual law and not public opinion. I actually saw a morning news host today defend the resisting arrest due to him being on parole and not wanting to go back to jail. And here I thought parole was a period of time where you were supposed to play nice. Apparently it's keep breaking laws but do your best to not get caught.

Probation is what you mean, but it can be a condition of Parole.

"As part of your Parole, you have 5 years Probation..."

It doesn't have to be a Constitutionality case. The SCOTUS ruling also address Use of Force.

As a former lawschool professor, I can assure you that it most certainly does have to be a "constitutionality case." That is the only way that a state court case can reach the Supreme Court. The Supremes can choose to hear any case coming up in the Federal Court system (US District/ Court of Claims/ TaxCourt/etc, Courts of Appeal. But to hear an appeal from a state court, certiorarican only be granted if here is a constitutional issue, or if the state court invalidated a federal statute, which, in itself, is a constitutional issue.
