What the SCOTUS decision was about

…It wasn't about the facts in the case - it was about the fact that the 9th Circuit ruled that the Officer should have known Judicial Precedent was against him, because of a decision that they handed down some months AFTER the shooting. Seriously, that was the 9th Circuit's reasoning.

The Supreme Court, in a surprising 7-2 margin, took this rather insignificant case about a lawsuit just for the chance to once again publicly slap down the 9th Circuit and tell them they are all ignoramuses who wouldn't know a legal precedent if it jumped up on the table and danced and sang a little song saying "I am a Legal Precedent!"
