In the left's ongoing war on the police, their plan to strip cops of qualified immunity is among the most preposterous. The sole objective is to jam up cops and make them more passive.
Qualified immunity means a police officer can't be sued for violating someone's constitutional rights unless those rights are "clearly established." Officers can still be fired. They can still be disciplined. And they can still be criminally prosecuted. They just can't be sued by every lowlife they arrest.
Liberals act as if qualified immunity is some extra-special benefit bestowed only on police, unheard of in any other line of work. Michigan's power-mad Attorney General Dana Nessel says, "We're not asking that police officers even be held to a higher standard than other professions, just to the same standard as other professions."
How about you, Dana? Can you be sued?
No, but that's different.
Indeed, the Michigan attorney general doesn't have mere "qualified immunity" from civil suits: She has absolute immunity. Unlike police officers, even if Nessel violates clearly established constitutional rights, she cannot be sued.

I say GO FOR IT!
Just don’t ask the red states to come to your rescue!
Are the Democrats simply a criminal organization?
Well, they certainly want to make sure that the cops can’t hassle them.
Same with the other Soros-backed DAs in Philadelphia, Los Angeles and elsewhere.
Don’t defund the police. DEFEND the police.
This ought to help with police recruitment.

Are the Democrats simply a criminal organization?
*************
They crave power and control over people and they are willing to do whatever is necessary to get, maintain and expand it.
The want to run every aspect of our lives and they rely on big government to it. That is the main weapon they use, which is why we must find a way to take that power away from them.
“ even if Nessel violates clearly established constitutional rights, she cannot be sued.”
This needs to change.
Now.

Democrats ARE TERRORISTS
When the police are gone what group or groups that fill that void will be 1000x worse that any bad cop. There will be accountability, justice will be immediate, the death penalty will be applied as a punishment for most crimes.
be accountability, = NO accountability
The result: Law Enforcement Officers at the municipal, county and state levels are quitting in record numbers.
One of them was my oldest son. I'm glad he quit. No LEO should be forced to put their and their family's financial well being on the line as they get peppered by frivolous lawsuit after frivolous lawsuit, designed to break them financially.
No wonder Americans are purchasing weapons and conceal/carrying in record numbers.
Add Chicago to that list. C(r)ook County States Attorney refuses to prosecute a single BLM or Antifa "peaceful protester."
Oh they want police alright, they want police that do their bidding.
No one talks about THAT.
