Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tennessee v. Garner was a Supreme Court case that involved the use of deadly force by individual police officers against fleeing suspects. The case determined that the use of deadly force in such situations was only justified when the suspect poses a significant threat to the officer or others. While the case has been cited in civil suits against police departments, it was not specifically about civil suits against police departments.
