Escondido v Emmons
Court rules that “right to be free of excessive force” is a bit to highly generalized to be considered “clearly established law” in regards to stripping qualified immunity.
Court also holds you can’t reinstate an excessive force claim, without any proof or even discussion, as to if the defendant even touched the plaintiff — especially after it has already been decided by another court that the defendant did not, because of body camera video footage proving no contact. (Sadly, not a joke).
