Actually....the City Council voted to make it illegal for police to use Qualified Immunity in defense of their actions.

If it applies to any police actions in the city, expect an exit of State Police Officers from supporting roles in the city.

Same thing, no?

The person you arrested will say their civil rights were violated and now you have to defend yourself in court against this type of non-sense.

So now the police will need to be overly cautious in terms of what they do. You can't aggressively go after anyone anymore.

Plus look at how anti-police society in general has gotten. Bad time to be a police officer in America for sure. I personally wouldn't ever be a police officer. Way too risky.

Finally, this may be the catyalst for the beginning of change. This Qualified Immunity is the evil that these diudes lived under. I truly seen, in real time, how these people used these protections to commit crimes with impunity towards the victims they acted against. I say about time, and know this, if cops didn't commit crimes, or violate citizens rights, qualified immunity , would have never been enforced as a defense mechanism for these people.

I disagree. I think most cops are genuinely good people and do nothing wrong. They simply want to protect their community. While it is true that there are bad cops, it must be kept in perspective. The amount of bad cops is extremely low and those bad cops can be dealt with internally.

If people are angry at unjust laws then the entire blame is on the voters who elected those politicians in office. Change those voting habits and you will get rid of unjust laws.

The same cops that backed Trump will turn around and enforce unconstitutional laws on citizens cause they’re “following orders”.

Yup but we have to focus on those leaders. Put pressure on them. They're the authoritarians.
