As we have just explained, existing precedent was
sufficient to place beyond debate the question whether the use
of more than de minimis force “maliciously and sadistically
for the purpose of causing harm” violated the Eighth
Amendment under the circumstances here. The deputies who

nonetheless contend that they are entitled to qualified
immunity because the law governing the use of tasers was not
clearly established in 2008. We disagree.
