After pleading no contest, plaintiff had been convicted of two counts of assault and battery on a police officer; the court ruled, “An excessive-force claim against an officer is not necessarily inconsistent with a conviction for assaulting the officer,” and analyzed the incident in detail, concluding that plaintiff had alleged some of the excessive force he complained of took place after he no longer posed a threat, and that Heck would not bar those claims.
