6th Cir. also holds that it violated the Fourteenth Amendment for shooting officer to fail to provide first aid after shooting suicidal man, and this too was clearly established law. No QI on the failure to render aid claim. www.opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf...

Cool, it’ll appeal to SCOTUS and they’ll give him the Medal of Freedom

And then there's this curious non-verbal exchange that was captured by the body cameras. The court recounts it, but it goes otherwise unremarked on. Sure seems like the officers, conscious of the cameras, were trying to get their stories straight.And then there's this curious non-verbal exchange that was captured by the body cameras.

The bodycam footage then shows Officer Bowers engaged in largely non-verbal
communications with the other officers in the room. We can see they made eye contact and
exchanged various hand signals in silence. Office Bruce gave Officer Bowers a thumbs up,
seeming to ask if he was okay. At one point, Officer Bowers appears to have been reenacting
how he shot Mr. Heeter, as he raises his rifle again. At other points, Officer Bowers walked in
and out of the room, then stood with his hand on his hip in the corner. No one was attending to
Mr. Heeter, who was bleeding profusely and struggling to breathe.
