'This has to stop,' appeals court says in siding with family of West Virginia man killed by police

'This has to stop.' A federal appeals court has revived a lawsuit against police officers in Martinsburg, West Virginia, by the family of a black man killed in 2013, and used the opportunity to comment on police brutality.

A federal appeals court Tuesday revived a lawsuit against police officers in Martinsburg, West Virginia, by the family of a black man killed in 2013 and used the opportunity to comment on police brutality, writing,"This has to stop."

"Although we recognize that our police officers are often asked to make split-second decisions, we expect them to do so with respect for the dignity and worth of black lives. Before the ink dried on this opinion, the FBI opened an investigation into yet another death of a black man at the hands of police, this time George Floyd in Minneapolis. This has to stop," the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals wrote in a unanimous opinion.
