Task: Deadly Force
White v. Pauly, 137 S. Ct. 548 (2017).
• Officers should recognize that where officers, through improper
conduct, do not properly alert a subject that law enforcement is
present when such a warning was feasible, liability may occur.
• Note that feasibility is a combination of timing and the circumstances
the officer is being confronted with to include the immediacy of the
threat.
