Court Rules Police Action Was Justified | Charlotte News
Description
A court just ruled that police who shot Bobby Morgan — a man with bipolar and schizoaffective disorders — in 2018 didn’t use excessive force. Morgan, who’d called 911 pretending to be a cop and fired a prop gun at neighbors, was shot three times by officers after attempts to de-escalate failed. His mother sued, claiming Fourth Amendment violations, but the Fourth Circuit Appeals Court sided with the police, saying the officers acted reasonably under threat to public safety. The case, which included bodycam footage released in 2019, is now officially closed.
