To the extent that appellants Cruz and Blasnek stood by
and observed the extractions but “knowingly refus[ed] to
terminate” the deputies’ unconstitutional acts, Starr, 652 F.3d
at 1207 (citation omitted), they are individually liable for the
same reasons as Sergeants McGrattan, Ohnemus, and
Washington. Ample evidence—including appellants’ own
testimony—supports the conclusion that appellants Cruz and
Blasnek directed and observed most of the extraction teams.
For example, there was evidence that appellant Blasnek
“observe[d] each extraction.” Appellant Cruz was shown on
video observing Trinidad’s, Sanchez’s, and Flores’s
extractions.
