   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-2222
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Wollman and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. Court had jurisdiction to consider this appeal 
   from an order denying the police officers' motion for summary judgment 
   based on qualified immunity where plaintiff contended his arrest violated 
   his First and Fourth Amendment rights;it was not objectively reasonable 
   for officers to mistakenly believe, under the totality of the 
   circumstances, that plaintiff was trying to obstruct them in the 
   performance of their official duties; the officers did not have probable 
   cause to arrest plaintiff, and the district court did not err in 
   determining the officers were not entitled to summary judgment on 
   plaintiff's Fourth Amendment claims; plaintiff was engaged in protected 
   First Amendment activity when he criticized the officers' actions; 
   plaintiff's arrest chilled his exercise of his First Amendment rights; a 
   jury should determine whether plaintiff can establish a causal connection 
   between his verbal conduct and the adverse actions taken against him. 
   Judge Colloton, dissenting.
