Interesting discussion over at calguns regarding police drawing weapons on a person, and whether or not it is considered excessive force.
http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=206871
The cases Robinson v. Solano County ( http://cases.justia.com/us-court-of-appeals/F3/218/1030/633387/ ) and Hopkins v. Bonvicino ( http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2009/07/16/07-15102.pdf ) look like they might have some good tidbits of case law when an officer draws his firearm on an UOCer.
