The family says Clements’ use of deadly force was unjustified, that the officer wasn’t in danger of being struck and that officers lied about what really happened that day. Gloria Black-Meadows, Anderson’s sister and administrator of her estate, filed the suit on behalf of Anderson’s three children. Claims include excessive force, conspiracy to violate civil rights, violation of the New Jersey Civil Rights Act, assault, negligence and wrongful death. Under the negligence claim, the family claims Marshalls exposed Anderson to danger by falsely claiming one of the suspects was sought for manslaughter.
