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.
“a reasonable jury could conclude from plaintiffs evidence that [the City] had a policy or pervasive pattern of deliberate indifference to the possibility that its officers were prone to use .excessive force, as demonstrated principally by [the City’s] failure to reasonably investigate complaints and the absence of punitive consequences for any accused officer, that such policy or pattern may have emboldened or implanted a sense of impunity in its officers, resulting in the challenged [conduct in this case], and that the offense would not have occurred had proper investigation and police discipline procedures been in place.”
