Did the Eighth Circuit depart from this Court's decisions in Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1989) and Plumhoff v. Rickard, 572 U.S. 765 (2014) in denying qualified immunity to petitioner based upon the absence of a constitutional violation by assessing the reasonableness of each of three Taser activations over a nineteen second period, instead of assessing the reasonableness of petitioner's conduct in light of the totality of the circumstances?
Did the Eighth Circuit depart from this Court's decision in Kisela v. Hughes, 138 S. Ct. 1148 (2018) (per curiam) and numerous other cases by denying qualified immunity even though two judges concluded the use of force was reasonable, and notwithstanding the absence of clearly established law imposing liability under circumstances closely analogous to those confronting petitioner?
