In a significant ruling, a federal judge in Mobile, Alabama, dismissed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city and two police officers involved in the arrest of Jawan Dallas. The family had claimed excessive force and negligence, but the judge granted summary judgment, citing the medical examiners findings that Dallas died from a heart attack caused by drug toxicity, not Taser use. The judge also noted Dallass struggle with officers, including grabbing a Taser and trying to bite one, making him a threat. The officers were previously cleared by a grand jury, and the city had no comment on the matter.
