United States Ninth Circuit

Reversing and remanding a case in which the family of a man shot in the back by the police, killing him as he raised his hands above his head and following the use of non-lethal force by officers because the officer who shot him was not entitled to qualified immunity because the use of force could have been found unreasonable by a jury and material issues of fact existed regarding whether the officer's version of events leading up to the shooting were credible.
