The following excerpt is from Abuka v. City of El Cajon, Case No. 17-cv-89-BAS-NLS, c/w Case No. 17-cv-347-BAS-NLS (S.D. Cal. 2019):

going through a mental breakdown. (JSUMF 75.) Indeed, the whole reason the officers were called to the scene in the first place was because Olango had been running in and out of traffic. Olango's perceptible mental instability should have given the officers pause in determining how to handle the situation. See Vos v. City of Newport Beach, 892 F.3d 1024, 1034 (9th Cir. 2018) (finding "indications of mental illness create a genuine issue of material fact about whether the government's interest in using deadly force was diminished").
