Officer Ludwig – Bloomington Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In 1995, Officer Ludwig was involved in a case where the Eighth Circuit held that police officers were not entitled to qualified immunity from a claim that they employed excessive force in seizing an individual through the use of deadly force. The case emphasized the need for officers to assess the threat posed by individuals before using deadly force.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
