The following excerpt is from McRae v. Tena, 113 F.3d 1241 (9th Cir. 1997):
McRae relies in part on the testimony of his expert to show that the police conduct was unreasonable. However, "[t]he fact that an expert disagrees with an officer's actions does not render the officer's actions unreasonable." Reynolds v. County of San Diego, 84 F.3d 1162, 1170 (9th Cir.1996). We must determine whether there is a factual issue based on the testimony presented to the district court.
