If qualified immunity goes away, so will many law officers.

Too many various types of incidents can happen and all of them are open to dubious, uncertain determinations by officials or judges or juries.

If the job doesn’t protect the officer, the officer may choose to find other work.

Yes. We need to leave QI protections in place wholesale so officers are free to back shoot unarmed suspects like in the excerpt, or to arrest firemen providing life saving measures on the side of the road.

No one would want to be a cop if they can’t shoot unarmed suspects b/c someone made them mad, or if they can’t assert their ego and authority over lesser beings like firemen.

I mean, who could stand operating under such uncertainty that one may be held accountable for their actions? /s

“If qualified immunity goes away, so will many law officers.”

I’m okay with that.

Watch the video. If this former officer only goes destitute for his actions, he came out way ahead. He belongs in a prison cell.
