Cops are no longer peace officers. Now they call themselves law enforcement and even go so far as call us civilians like they are not. They did it to themselves.

I don’t deal in overly broad generalizations about any class, profession, or group.

Thanks for your comment.

Qualified immunity has been expanded too much. It is not intended to cover incompetence. People too stupid to exercise delegated authority need to be held accountable and removed from office quickly. Police do have strong unions in most places, and they do protect the incompetent. Officer safety shouldn't readily apply to idiots on farm land without the owners knowledge or consent killing domesticated animals.
