Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the use of force reforms put in place by federal mandates under the Obama administration that required police to use only “objectively reasonable force, proportional to the threat or urgency of the situation,”

Hmmm, no love for the 9th circuit, but lets break this down...

As a citizen I can only use deadly force when I am in fear of death or great bodily harm or I fear for the life (or bodily harm) of another person. I don't want police forces to be using "unreasonable" deadly force when its not necessary. The problem with poorly worded law or regulation is it can be interpreted in many ways.

Again, no love for the 9th, but I wouldn't necessarily go to war over this ruling. There are plenty of other bad rulings to battle. Perhaps the federal mandate should be reviewed or addressed. Sounds like this is another case of Feds using grants to local authorities to dictate policy. Lets terminate that.

While I am thinking about it...Feds can use grants to tell local police how to operate, but Feds cant use grants to tell cities how to handle operate with respect to illegals...this is SO confusing.

Yup. The rules should be the same for police as any other citizen.
