Keep the cops.
END “qualified” immunity.
They are going to violate YOUR rights? They SHOULD be held personally responsible.
Perhaps this will end the “Blue Wall of Silence” regarding bad cops.
Getting rid of qualified immunity would be a huge mistake. People act as if qualified immunity is absolute immunity. It isn’t. Police can still be sued today if they have violated “clearly established law.” All qualified immunity does is protect them from suit for doing their job. As long as they stay within the law, they are protected. But if they act outside the law, they can be sued. The cop who kept his knee on George Floyd’s neck for seven plus minutes can be sued because he was acting outside the law. Getting rid of qualified immunity will possibly have the opposite effect. That is good people will not want to be cops because of the liability issues. Do away with qualified immunity police will be getting sued left and right. No one will want to put up with that. Then we will be getting cops who are not of high character. Ones who have nothing financially to lose. That is deadbeat types. And they will be much worse.
