In a court victory from the 2021 resistance to Line 3 pipeline construction in MN, a federal appeals court ruled that police officers who use excessive force on protesters are not entitled to qualified immunity and cannot use excessive force to prompt compliance.

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals decided 2-1 to reverse the decision of U.S. District Judge Wilhelmina Wright, who dismissed the case on the grounds that pain compliance techniques are not prohibited by any existing case law.

The appeals court deemed the techniques excessive and reversed the district court’s ruling, returning the case to the district court, where it will now go into discovery. 🧵

Locke, who was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy after the incident, was happy with the court’s ruling.

“What happened that day was the deliberate infliction of excruciating pain and significant injuries,” Locke said in a statement to Unicorn Riot. “I hope this decision will protect other people from having their legal claims dismissed. No one should have to endure what I went through.”

This is a study in contrasts—and a masterclass in hubris.

In one single swoop, Valve just reinvented half the tech industry. They’ve advanced Linux, perfected wireless streaming, nailed emulation, and cracked camera-based eye tracking with foveated rendering—all in one go.

Meanwhile, Apple—worth over $4T—is out here selling a $230 sock and calling it innovation.

One company—Apple—employs 100,000s and worships margins.

The other—Valve—has only a few hundred people and just ate Apple’s lunch.
