A divided U.S. appeals court on Friday revived a lawsuit by five former Oakland, California, police officers who were fired over their involvement in the fatal shooting of a homeless man.
said the case belongs in state court because the officers' lawsuit against the city only alleges violations of state and city laws, and the federal judge who dismissed it should never have taken it up.
Oakland in the 2003 settlement agreed to about 50 police reforms, including changes in the way officers are investigated and disciplined and measures designed to stop racial profiling. The 9th Circuit disagreed, saying the officers had challenged the way the settlement was implemented and not the terms of the settlement itself.
