It won't be the shooter; he'll have qualified immunity. Sue the Capitol Police Force instead.
Sue both the department and the individual. It’s done all the time.
NO!!!
Qualified immunity only matters for criminal charges. This POS needs to be sued and pursued until he puts a gun to his mouth just to escape. And yes, the Capitol Police needs to be sued as well. All combined, the suit should be for an astronomical amount — with no agreement to settle.
Examples need to be made. Otherwise it’s a hideous miscarriage of justice.
