Plaintiff filed a lawsuit pursuant to 42 U.S.C. ยง 1983 after law enforcement broke windows and the front door of a home that plaintiff was occupying and shot him with non-lethal foam bullets. The district court concluded that the undisputed facts showed officers did not violate clearly established law and were entitled to qualified immunity. The Seventh Circuit agreed and affirmed.
