A federal agent tried to shoot an innocent man. Will the Supreme Court allow accountability

What does it take to hold federal police accountable for using excessive force That question is once again being raised with cases being appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court. And its coming to the Justices in the form of a petition from Kevin Byrd, a Texas mechanic who was almost shot to death by a federal officer in a dispute over a purely personal matter. Kevin is not fighting alone. The Institute for Justice (IJ) represents him in his U. S. Supreme Court appeal. And three groups of exceptional scholars and crossphilosophical public policy organizations are supporting him with friendofthecourt briefs in which they urge the Justices to take up Kevins case.
