• concluding the use of a -8- police dog to control a non-compliant suspect was reasonable where the suspect was merely twisting on the ground
• explaining that we consider the injuries suffered when evaluating the level of force
• to defeat motion for summary judgment, non-movant’s allegations must be supported by sufficient probative evidence that would permit finding in his favor on more than mere speculation or conjecture
• reasonableness of official’s conduct under circumstances is question of law
• when arrestee refused police orders to lie flat on his stomach, twisted, and otherwise continued to resist, it was reasonable to apply force against arrestee’s neck, use hold maneuver on legs, and use a canine to bite arrestee to bring him under control
