The cops thought suspect Jordan Waddy had a gun. They shot six bystanders in the process of subduing him.
According to the grand jury, when Ramos fired his gun, he did so in a manner that was “reckless, unreasonable and unnecessary for the purpose of protecting himself or other officers, and he consciously disregarded an unjustifiable risk of injury to the crowd.”
The bullet severed a nerve in Rey’s leg. While she was still in the hospital, Rey’s brother reached out to attorney, who spent ten years in the Colorado Public Defenders Office and has handled excessive-force cases since then. “She wanted justice in this matter and didn't want to wait around,” says Viorst, who's representing Rey. “It's been nine months now. She was ready to move forward.”.
In shooting Rey, the suit contends, Ramos violated Rey’s right to freedom from unlawful seizures. “In the common parlance, seizure is grabbing someone, but shooting someone and stopping them with a bullet is also a seizure,” Viorst says. gives any government employee in the state immunity from civil lawsuits for negligence while on duty. However, in cases where that employee acts willfully and wantonly, that immunity goes away.
