Ex-officer of viral 'unhinged cop' video wants victim's lawsuit dismissed. How the judge ruled.
A federal judge has declined to dismiss the lawsuit against fired Palm Beach Gardens officer Bethany Guerriero, who arrested an unarmed man at gunpoint after she said she mistook him for the gunman he called 911 to report.
Ryan Gould sued the officer in January over what his attorneys deemed false imprisonment and excessive use of force. Guerriero has denied violating any of Gould's "clearly established" constitutional rights and asked the judge to dismiss the suit before it goes to trial.
In an order released recently, U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks called parts of Guerriero's argument "misplaced" and "abandoned," a premature bid to invoke qualified immunity without actually calling it such. Qualified immunity protects officers so long as their conduct does not violate "clearly established" constitutional rights, or rights that a reasonable officer would know.
