082448P.pdf   07/02/2009  Eddie Howard  v.  Ryan Bronner
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-2448
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. District court did not err in denying defendant
   police officers' motion for summary judgment based on qualified
   immunity on plaintiff's claims they used excessive force in detaining him
   when he tried to obtain their assistance after he was shot; viewing the
   facts in the light most favorable to plaintiff, the officers used excessive
   force in violation of plaintiff's rights when they restrained him on hot
   asphalt on a 100 degree day; forcing a victim to lie without a shirt on the
   hot asphalt, thereby causing second-degree burns, was objectively
   unreasonable, and the officers had fair warning that such conduct was not
   objectively reasonable. Judge Gruender, dissenting.
