Legal Commentary: Most Horrifying Summation of a SCOTUS Case

via SCOTUSBlog:

Title: Brooks v. Gaenzle
Docket: 10-621
Issue(s): Whether a fleeing suspect, who was intentionally shot in the back by police but not immediately arrested, was “seized” for Fourth Amendment purposes.

Listen folks, I'm hep to the idea that the specifics of a case shouldn't distract from the importance of legal theory, but that's some fucking ridiculous sauce.
