I think there's two points. One, if they're not upholding basic constitutional rights then yes they can be federally sued or I think prosecuted by the Federal DOJ. If they're not upholding state laws they could only be sued in state court or prosecuted by their clownworld state DA. I think the whole DOJ color of law statement should apply somewhere in that someone is not upholding people's rights, it seems this stuff takes a long time to work it's way through courts. It's in my opinion a big flaw in our legal system in that we don't have adequate protection from psychopaths in power.
