    Your argument only holds up if the cop isn’t also tried for that murder.

    The U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of officers accused of excessive force

    The two cases concerned police officers accused of using excessive force when responding to domestic disturbances. In one, officers used beanbag rounds and a knee on the suspect’s back to subdue him; in the second, officers shot and killed the suspect after he approached them while raising a hammer.

    Both decisions the court issued Monday were unsigned. No justices dissented.
