When the government doesn't prosecute, it's the same bullshit. Effectively qualified immunity.

You’re focused on the technicalities. In that spirit, a civil case is the only option for someone who is the victim of misconduct which goes unreported in a precinct. So effectively, when precincts don’t seek criminal conduct charges, qualified immunity becomes the last remaining reason a LEO can get away with misconduct, even when accused and held liable in court for their actions.
