The judge said that a reasonable jury 'could reach more than one conclusion' regarding if officers used a reasonable degree of force when dealing with Black.
U.S. District Judge Catherine Blake agreed with the family of Anton Black, a 19-year-old teen who died in a struggle with police officers in Greensboro, Maryland, in a lawsuit that police officers used excessive force before the teen died.
Black had bipolar disorder, according to the American Civil Liberties of Maryland. WBAL-TV reported that Officer Thomas Webster IV called in Black as a schizophrenic as the chase began. Some of the lawyers representing Black's family are lawyers with the ACLU of Maryland, the AP reported. The lawsuit says that Black"died from positional asphyxia as a direct and proximate result of the officers' excessive force and racial bias."
