Wilson Ratledge, PLLC v. JJJ Fam.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the plaintiff was not “actively resisting arrest” because, among other reasons, she “never exhibited any sort of aggressive behavior toward the officers”
• recognizing that the weapon need not be identical for a case to clearly establish a constitutional violation
• recognizing that a jury’s verdict for the moving party moots the motion
• finding that just because danger is not “entirely eliminated,” does not mean that there is an immediate threat
• explaining that “willful noncompliance [i]s not the same as active[] resist[ance] but instead [is] passive resistance requiring the minimal use of force”
• explaining that once the scene has been secured, a court need no longer give offic- ers the same benefit of the doubt for actions taken in tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving situations
