• holding that a showing that force was “so plainly excessive” is sufficient to meet the clearly estab- lished requirement
• stating that “police officers do not have the right to shove, push, or otherwise assault innocent citizens without any provocation whatsoever”
• acknowledging that officers do not have a right to “shove, push, or otherwise assault” people without provocation
• shoving unarmed and handcuffed arrestee into police car, causing mild trauma injury to arrestee’s knee was excessive force
• collecting cases denying qualified immunity to officers who use excessive force while arresting compliant suspects
• denying summary judgment on qualified immunity claim because the Court lacked the “given facts” that either do or do not show a violation of “clearly established law”
