Could you do a video on how to demonstrate the necessity of a court appointed attorney for an indigent, pro se plaintiff, with approved ifp status, in a 42 USC 1983 and 42 USC 1983 (Monell) claim alleging 4th and 14th Amendment violations against the city in which he lives, the Chief of Police, and 3 other officers?
Great question. A court would probably ask, among other things, was D’s unreasonable actions the actual cause of P jumping out of the way and getting hurt? And is that a foreseeable injury that would result from this type of carelessness by D?
