MATHESON, J.,
concurring
I join the panel opinion regarding Mr. Carabajal’s excessive force claims and Plaintiffs’ negligent hiring claim. As to V.M.C.’s unreasonable seizure claim, I concur in the result on the following ground: Whether or not Y.M.C. was seized, see Brendlin v. California, 551 U.S. 249, 261, 127 S.Ct. 2400, 168 L.Ed.2d 132 (2007) (recognizing that both passengers and drivers are seized when police use force to stop a car), it follows from our conclusion that Officer Thornton acted reasonably that any seizure of V.M.C. was reasonable.
