Seriously?
You think he made that UP???
Moreover, you think I didn't CHECK?
LOL!
"The court found that the Missouri statute authorizing the use of
deadly force by police attempting to arrest any fleeing felon was
unconstitutional as "an arbitrary imposition of death" and violation of
due process.[15]"

And because I know you won't check for yourself:
"When the Eighth Circuit, in Mattis v. Schnarr,6 declared unconstitutional
two Missouri statutes allowing the use of deadly force by the
police in such situations, its decision, in theory, cast doubt on the con-
stitutionality of laws in at least twenty-nine other states."

And further:
"Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)[1], was a case in which the
Supreme Court of the United States held that under the Fourth
Amendment, when a law enforcement officer is pursuing a fleeing
suspect, he or she may use deadly force to prevent escape only if the
officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a
significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer
or others."

So... ...how about behaving like a grown-up for once, and just
admitting you were wrong.
