LOS ANGELES—A national pro-police organization has filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court, urging the high court to overturn an appellate decision that reversed a ruling shielding a Los Angeles police officer from liability in a fatal shooting, it was announced Dec. 4.
The brief filed by the National Police Association asks the court to reaffirm decisions made by now-retired Los Angeles Police Department Officer Toni McBride in April 2020 when she fired her weapon to subdue a knife-wielding assailant—the final shots fired while the suspect was rolling on the ground, court papers show.
