Carnes finds that the district court properly denied the police officers' motion to dismiss based on qualified immunity an unlawful seizure claim raised by the individual in a civil rights action arising from her arrest after moving a barricade in a mall parking lot. The individual was trying to leave after failing to locate a protest in the wake of George Floyd's death. The officer lacked reasonable suspicion to stop the individual's vehicle. The district court improperly denied one officer's motion to dismiss the individual's claim that he violated her rights by failing to intervene in the other officer's use of excessive force. Also, the 11th Circuit lacks jurisdiction to consider the officers' challenge to the district court's decision not to incorporate some video footage of the incident into the pleadings. The challenge amounts to a claim that the district court made an incorrect evidentiary ruling. Affirmed in part.
