The supreme Court in Tennessee versus Garner held that the fourth amendment stops the police from using deadly force to stop a suspect from fleeing, except in a situation where these officers believe that the suspect has a weapon and could use it on them or on others. that is, in a situation where the suspect becomes a threat to life of the policemen or the life of others.
