LOL. The reality is, they are held to a LOWER standard than ordinary citizens who don't wear magical blue suits. The mere fact that the phrase "qualified immunity" now exists as a legal concept is absolute proof of same.
I know. I am speaking to the way it should be in opposition to my read of what the person I was responding to said. Qualified Immunity is a travesty against the Constitution that allows far too many in positions of state power to escape consequences for their crimes against the people. It is the very opposite of everybody being equal under the law.
