A Montana judge has ruled that Deputies Chris Rudolph and Jason Robinson of the Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office​ used excessive force when they executed Loren Simpson in 2015. As a result, they will not be protected by qualified immunity in a lawsuit brought by his family and should they lose will be personally liable for any damages awarded.

The deputies claimed that Simpson was trying to run them over when they shot him. However, this dash cam video clearly shows that he turned away to try and avoid them. The judge ruled that the deputies not only had no reason to be certain that he was the burglary suspect they were looking for, but also that the amount of force used was excessive for such a minor crime, regardless.
