Скачать или смотреть Why This Unanimous Supreme Court Ruling Matters More Than You Think

"A 9–0 Supreme Court ruling is rare—and when it happens, it usually means the Court thinks something has gone seriously off track.

In this episode, we break down the Court’s unanimous rejection of the “moment-of-threat” rule—a shortcut some courts used to judge police use-of-force cases by focusing almost entirely on the final split second, while treating what happened before as largely irrelevant.

That narrow lens can erase the choices that created the crisis: escalation, tactics, missed chances to slow down, distance, communication, backup, de-escalation—everything that shapes whether deadly force was truly objectively reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.

Using the story of Ashtian Barnes and the traffic stop that escalated into a fatal shooting, we explore what the Court’s decision changes, what it doesn’t change (including the separate role of qualified immunity), and why this ruling matters for accountability, incentives, training, and constitutional rights that shouldn’t depend on geography.

Key idea: You can’t claim “totality of the circumstances” while wearing chronological blinders.
