Supreme Court bars suits over police use of force against mentally ill
The court ruled 6 to 2 that officers are shielded from liability when their use of force in confrontations with mentally disabled individuals, like Teresa Sheehan, does not violate constitutional rights. The decision limits accountability but upholds police discretion in split-second decisions. It also addressed Maryland double taxation, ruling residents taxed by more than one jurisdiction may seek refunds, potentially costing states millions. Justices debated ADA considerations and full tax credits amid dissents from four justices.
