In a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 action alleging excessive use of force by the police, summary judgment for Defendants is affirmed where the situation the officers faced, which involved an armed, suicidal man, was urgent and inherently dangerous, and thus Defendants had probable cause to use the force they did.
