Q: or outrageous to state a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress. However, in light of the evidence discussed above that Sergeant McNicholas had conspired to manufacture the evidence on which such a conviction would be based viz., the Mejias' possession of the cocaine, his actions do begin to take on an extreme and outrageous character. Second, Sergeant McNicholas's alleged repeated use of ethnic slurs against them during the course of the Mejias' arrest and subsequent interrogation would probably be sufficient on its own to state a claim for IIED. Several courts have held that a police officer's use of ethnic slurs, when coupled with use of excessive force, is sufficient to state an IIED claim. See, e.g., Holder v. Ivanjack, 39 F.Supp.2d at 970 (applying Illinois law) (<HOLDING>); Oliver v. Cuttler, 968 F.Supp. 83, 93
