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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he self-defense statute requires ... a showing that, before the actor offered any resistance, the officer used or attempted to use 'greater force than necessary to make the arrest' and the actor reasonably believed her response was immediately necessary to protect herself against that type of force.”
