How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

concluding that jury must decide failure-to-intervene claim even “assuming that the assault lasted less than twenty seconds”
concluding that plaintiff had established a failure to intervene claim where defendant officers sat passively during a twenty-second assault
holding that officers’ “application of light force” by “push[ing]” a suspect who “stiffen[ed] his legs” into a police car did not constitute excessive force
holding that officer must have reasonable opportunity to intervene to be held liable under failure to intervene theory
recognizing that “any evidence considered on summary judgment must be reducible to admissible form”
noting that “[l]iability attaches on the theory that the officer, by failing to intervene, becomes a ‘tacit collaborator’ in the illegality” (emphasis added)
