• stating that the law in the area of excessive force, namely objective reasonableness, is clearly established in the Third Circuit
• noting that the three elements of Section 4001, which are required to demonstrate statutory immunity, do not readily lend themselves to resolution by summary judgment because they require the proof of subjective facts
• denying both qualified immunity and DTCA immunity where the officer’s subjective intent presented a genuine issue of material fact
