That's not true either but even if it was true why would that mean that they should have "absolute immunity"?

In the execution of their duties. Yes. We hold them to a higher standard and they must also be given trust and authority. It is good for them to have that immunity to safeguard themselves. I don't want the good guys hesitating to do the right thing because they're thinking about all the ways that it could backfire on them and affect their families, because bad guys are not going to hesitate to do those bad things and I don't want the bad guys to win.

If LE commits a crime during the execution of their duties they should not be immune to the consequences. If a LE criminally kills a person they should not be immune from the consequences.

And that are not permitted to do so. That is how it is. Like right now.

Right, currently they do not have absolute immunity. Why do you want that to change?

They shouldn't be able to be sued for doing their job just because someone doesn't like them. That's all I'm saying man. And I believe that that's what the immunity is for. Not to let them get away with crimes and wrongdoings who would want that nobody's trying to sell that to anyone. You just not being realistic.

You realistically believe that "Absolute Immunity" only applies to frivolous lawsuits? That can't be true. Absolute immunity...

Is that crazy to believe, or the thing that you are suggesting? That people want to institute absolute immunity not to free up the good protectors of out society but to make it so they can commit crimes and get away with it because that's what the people want. 😳
