There was reasonable suspicion for his stop as a suspect in a road rage incident involving discharge of a gun. The officer was not aggressive or abusive in handcuffing plaintiff until he could figure out what was going on. After no gun was found, and the reasonable suspicion dispelled, plaintiff was unhand cuffed and allowed on his way. He had prior surgeries on his shoulder, and the handcuffing aggravated his condition. Nevertheless, the officer\u2019s actions did not violate the Fourth Amendment. <a href=\"http:\/\/media.ca7.uscourts.gov\/cgi-bin\/rssExec.pl?Submit=Display&#038;Path=Y2017\/D04-10\/C:16-1988:J:Ripple:aut:T:fnOp:N:1944625:S:0\">Howell v.
