- Graham v. Connor (1989): This decision established the "objectively reasonable" standard, requiring that an officer's use of force be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, acknowledging they make "split-second judgments in circumstances that are tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving". This case also clarified that the officer's intent (malice or good faith) is not a factor; only the objective reasonableness of their actions matters.
