Officer Facing 48 Years. 6 Others Charged

In this highly anticipated webinar, Force Science Chief Consulting Officer Von Kliem—an attorney, former police officer, and leading expert in use-of-force law—and Calibre Press Director of Curriculum Jim Glennon will dissect one of the most complex officer-involved shooting cases to date: the incident in Clear Creek, Colorado that led to multiple officers being charged. This case involves the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Christian Glass, who refused to comply with police commands for nearly 70 minutes before wielding a knife through a broken window toward an officer.
Von and Jim will dive deep into the tactical and legal implications of the case, tackling critical questions that challenge the boundaries of law enforcement decision-making:
- Is escalation sometimes a predictable—and reasonable—outcome of law enforcement actions?
- What are the tradeoffs of tactical options, and how much risk should officers assume?
- When officers face imminent threats, do a suspect’s psychological, physiological, or substance-induced conditions matter?
- How does hindsight and outcome bias distort our judgments of officer decision-making?
- Is the controversial theory of “officer-created jeopardy” being unfairly used to shift blame from suspects to officers?
- At what point do officers lose their right to defend themselves or others from deadly force?
- Can time be leveraged as a tactical advantage, and when is forced compliance necessary?
- Are prosecutors attempting to revive the discredited “provocation rule” by rebranding tactics as “predictably counterproductive?”
- What is the real meaning of “failure to intervene” in the heat of split-second decisions?
