You said they were immune from any criminal or civil charges.
That’s incorrect.
A gentleman would admit he was wrong and move on.

Yes !!!
Let’s see how it plays out. Qualified immunity is a pernicious doctrine that should be completely eliminated, and the occasional exception pointed out by you doesn’t mean that it’s dead. I would be happy to be totally wrong on this, but I suspect they’ll walk.
I was speaking generally and did not mean that all police are always exempt. The Kathryn Johnson murder occurred in 2006 but it didn’t set any precedents. The Danziger bridge incident in 2005 didn’t set any precedent and the miscarriage of justice in the George Floyd case didn’t either. The qualified immunity defense has been used countless times dove these incidents and is still alive and well.
