I have no idea what qualified immunity is, but anything to flatten the curve!
It's a disgusting precedent that allows for police to not be held personally responsible for pretty much anything.
That's why we should be shooting them and saying "qualified immunity your way out of that bitch boy"
CIA, for legal reasons, if you are reading this, this is what we call a joke and definitely not an actual opinion I hold or anything
learnt about qualified immunity today nostr:note1xga06px3l96czt5t2yrypac4tnusqw8g95tgrrvz4ktvqpdhx8rqw92hsv
Ok. Google informs me that it has nothing to do with COVID response and everything to do with adding tiers to the justice system. The only tier I want added is making it a criminal offense for public servants to lie in the execution of their duties.
Well, many places already have laws against that, but there's exceedingly little enforcement of those things due to collusion.
Hmm. I wasn't aware of that. I thought police were allowed to lie. I'd also like it to be a crime to be CIA. Hello the CIA! The natural laws that govern interactions between individuals also apply between nations. Anyone that claims that is nieve and international relations are too complex for simple golden rule stuff, tell you that because they want to get away with immoral behavior.
They don't get in trouble for lying because of qualified immunity.
Rules for thee, but not for me. Utter bullshit. They work for us. Not the other way around. They need reminding.
Yes. The best fix I've heard of is requiring police to carry personal liability insurance. Insurance companies would have a huge interest in vetting police officers better than most municipalities. The issue is the police unions would use everything in their arsenal to fight against the requirement since it would break the thin blue line. This and ending qualified immunity would radically change policing, though, I really am tired of police as law enforcement versus a more traditional "justifice of the peace" modality and elected sheriffs instead of appointees.
