   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-3827
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd Author, with Colloton and Stras, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. The actions of the Coon City police officers 
   did not violate plaintiffs' Fourth Amendment rights as the officers had 
   reasonable suspicion to detain plaintiff and were entitled to qualified 
   immunity; plaintiff was never arrested and the officers reasonably 
   believed, based on their own observations, that they needed to place 
   plaintiff in squad car to preserve the status quo; officers were entitled 
   to qualified immunity on plaintiff Anita Waters' Fourth Amendment claims; 
   only de minimus force was used and it cannot form the basis for a Fourth 
   Amendment excessive force claim; plaintiffs failed to adequately plead a 
   compensatory damages claim under Sec. 1983 arising from a search of the 
   trunk of their car; claim officers unconstitutionally retaliated against 
   plaintiff for exercising his First Amendment rights rejected; claim of 
   interference with First Amendment rights rejected; Monell claims rejected; 
   all state law claims - false arrest, battery and defamation - were 
   properly dismissed.
