San Diego police summoned to apartment complex to investigate men with guns. Instead, they encounter a family barbecue. They point assault rifles at the family (including young children) and handcuff many of them, pushing a pregnant woman to the ground and tearing a man’s rotator cuff in the process. They search the family home without a warrant or consent. Ninth Circuit: No qualified immunity.
Anaheim police summoned to apartment complex to investigate man with gun. They encounter man with what turns out to be a BB gun. Ninth Circuit: A jury might conclude the officers unreasonably killed the man moments after giving him conflicting orders, but they are entitled to qualified immunity on the Fourth Amendment claims. The state law claims were erroneously dismissed, however.
