  • dismissing a Monell claim against the city where the complaint included no facts supporting allegations that the city inadequately trained and supervised officers
  • explaining failure to intervene claims are not limited to the excessive force context
  • “If an officer witnesses unconstitutional conduct, and fails to intervene, he is liable under Section 1983. . . . And any reasonable officer would therefore have known that failing to intervene when his fellow officer executed a false arrest was also unconstitutional.”
  • “while allegations regarding a ‘code of silence’ among police officers may support a Monell claim, here, the only factual allegation is that there is, and has been, a ‘code of silence’ among police officers to conceal unconstitutional conduct, and that alone is not enough”
