What is the state of the law in relation to the treatment of Michael O'Doan by the police?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from O'Doan v. Sanford, 991 F.3d 1027 (9th Cir. 2021):
O'Doans failure to follow "lawful commands, and [his] actions" in making threatening gestures "risked severe consequences." See Ames v. King County , 846 F.3d 340, 349 (9th Cir. 2017). The officers therefore acted reasonably in deciding to bring O'Doan under control. Indeed, their efforts to do so may well have prevented O'Doan from harming himself or those around him.
