• declining to credit “what may be a self-serving account by the police officer” (quoting Scott v. Henrich, 39 F.3d 912, 915 (9th Cir. 1994))
• declining to credit “what may be a self-serving account by the police officer” (quoting Scott v. Henrich, 39 F.3d 912, 915 (9th Cir. 1994))
• finding that qualified immunity was a question of fact for the jury in light of competing inferences that could be drawn from the facts at issue and their effect on the question of whether an officer’s actions were objectively unreasonable
• affirming denial of summary judgment when the plaintiff lived to contradict the police officer’s version of the events before the shooting
• noting that courts determining whether an officer’s use of force was reasonable should consider “the ‘information possessed’ by the officer, without regard to the officer's subjective beliefs and without regard to facts not known by the officer at the time of the incident”
• considering testimony to be sufficient to support inference that discredited officer’s account
