{
  "answer": "The Supreme Court has established a two-prong test for qualified immunity in excessive force cases. First, a court must determine whether the officer's conduct violated a constitutional right. Second, the court must determine whether the right was 'clearly established' at the time of the incident. A right is clearly established when existing precedent places the constitutional question 'beyond debate.' Officers are entitled to qualified immunity unless their conduct violates clearly established law that a reasonable officer would have known.",
