Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Insofar as [plaintiff's] claim rests entirely on the fact that he was handcuffed [to a bench in a holding cell] . . . there is no cause of action for excessive force. It may be true that it was unnecessary . . . but in the context of placing an individual under arrest, use of handcuffs alone cannot amount to excessive force”
