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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“reliance on the general standard for excessive force 'is not enough' because the right must be 'clearly established in a more particularized, and hence more relevant, sense' ") (internal quotation marks omitted), quoting Saucier v. Katz , 533 U.S. 194 , 201-02, 121 S.Ct. 2151 , 150 L.Ed.2d 272 (2001). Defining the right too broadly "may defeat the purpose of qualified immunity.”
