   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-1083
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa, Waterloo   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. Even if defendant police officer violated plaintiffs' mentally-impaired son's fundamental rights during the investigation of an allegation that the son had engaged in criminal behavior, the officer was entitled to summary judgment because the violation does not shock the conscience as the record showed the officer altered his questioning style, more fully explained the son's Miranda rights, interviewed him in a less-intimidating setting and called the plaintiffs and invited them to the station for the questioning; nor did the adequacy of the investigation shock the conscience; plaintiffs failed to show the investigation was retaliatory; decision to charge the son did not shock the conscience; where the individual officer's actions did not support a Section 1983 action, there can be no city liability for failure to train; with respect to plaintiffs' ADA claims, no reasonable jury could conclude that defendants failed to make reasonable accommodations for the son's disability.
