Zorn v. Linton · ¶13

The Second Circuit contravened these principles. Am nesty America did not clearly establish that Zorn's specific conduct violated the Fourth Amendment.Whether any particular use of force violates the Fourth Amendment depends on “the facts and circumstances of each particular case,” Graham v. Connor, 490 U. S. 386, 396 (1989), including whether the officer gave “warnings” before using force, Barnes v. Felix, 605 U. S. 73, 80 (2025). In Amnesty America, the court considered a wide range of allegations of excessive force. The officers rammed a protester's head into a wall, dragged another protester across the ground, and used rear wristlocks on two more protesters to lift them up before throwing one of them to the ground. 361 F. 3d, at 123. Nothing indicated that the officers gave the protesters any warning that they would use such force.
