Court affords officers qualified immunity for takedown of plaintiff; holds summary judgment inappropriate for excessive force claim based on officers kneeling on plaintiff’s back after takedown due to factual dispute about circumstances, but holds crediting plaintiffs account of event, officers not entitled to qualified immunity because “applying pressure to the back of a prone suspect who no longer resists arrest and poses no flight risk is an objectively unreasonable use of force”.
