182533P.pdf   09/03/2019  Dedra Rudley  v.  Hubert Bryant
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2533
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Loken and Stras, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. The situation leading to the defendant police officer Bryant tasing plaintiff and arresting her was chaotic and involved aggressive behavior on plaintiff's part, rendering her case different than the cases plaintiff relies on to show an arresting officer used excessive arrest in securing an arrest and more like the cases where this court has determined that an arrestee's aggressive and non-compliant behavior made it reasonable for an officer to use force; as a result, plaintiff has not identified a "robust consensus of cases" that place the excessive force question beyond debate, and defendant was entitled to summary judgment based on qualified immunity; further, defendant police officer Bryant did not violate a clearly established right by handcuffing Bryant's son's wrists behind his back as the son was fighting with another officer, posed a threat to police and was subdued with a minimum amount of force.
