Police stopped van suspecting drug activity, plaintiff exited car quickly, officer ran to him and tackled him; court awards officer qualified immunity on excessive force claim; plaintiff cited two cases where tackling was held legitimate, argued this case was not like them, thus tackling was impermissible here, court concludes those cases did not establish “beyond debate” that tacking here was unacceptable.
