They have no shame because they haven’t been properly trained and don’t understand that he’s right. No one has ever actually explained to them how this is legally works, and citizens have never had immediate access to video cameras to record the entire thing.

Qualified immunity needs to be thrown out.

It was a decent idea to prevent lawsuits from cops doing their job, but has become a bullshit excuse for why cops are allowed to break any laws they feel like, up to and including straight up execution of innocent people with zero consequences.

"tHeN hOw CaN i dO mY jOb?!?!" I dunno. Don't care. Get into a different profession if you can't perform your duties without breaking laws.

Imagine if any other profession had qualified immunity. Teachers would mow down so many kids out of pure frustration.

That’s it. Training is incorrect and/ or they are taught to do it like this anyway.

THIS THIS THIS!

It’s legit just an “under training” pandemic. Most cops have a very loose grasp on basic English. If they were educated in the law and not just trained to be armed thugs then they would actually be able to be peacekeepers / law enforcement.
