The officer yelled, "Police! Halt!" and could see by his flashlight that 15 year old Edward Garner was unarmed. As Garner began to climb over the backyard fence, the officer decided that Garner would escape if he made it over the fence. The officer shot and killed Garner. A purse and ten dollars that were stolen from the house were found on his body. The officer had relied on Memphis policy and Tennessee state law that permitted an officer to use deadly force against a suspected fleeing felon. Tennessee v. Garner Less Lethal Impact Munitions Pursuit Justification (2) Pursuit Termination (5) The "fleeing felon" rule was used by many states at the time as one of the guidelines by which police officers could use deadly force. Garner's father filed a \$2 million dollar lawsuit against the City of Memphis. Eleven years and numerous appeals later, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the "fleeing felon" rule as it was understood. \- An officer must have probable cause to believe that a fleeing felon poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and give a warning where feasible, before deadly force may be used as a last resort to prevent escape. \- Active aggression or aggravated active aggression. \- Targeted areas include buttocks, thighs, and calves.

There is a clear and reasonable danger to the officer and others created by the pursuit, which outweighs the necessity for immediate apprehension. 2\. The suspect has been identified to the point that later apprehension can be accomplished and there is no longer any need for immediate apprehension. 3\. Poor traffic, roadway, or environmental conditions. Pursuit Termination Pursuit Consideration Factors (13) 4\. The pursued vehicle's location is no longer known. 5\.

The seriousness of the originating offense and its relationship to community safety. 2\. Safety of the public in the area of the pursuit. 3\. Safety of pursuing officer(s). 4\. Time of day. 5\.
