all supreme court decisions have to be read and understood in its entirety. you cannot just isolate the dispositive portion (the part that gives the ruling on the case) and then take this as the general rule
as always, all supreme court decisions are made with the particular facts of the case on hand.
in this case, the supreme court, rightly or wrongly, made a judgement as to the lack of the need of a warning shot.
