Qualified Immunity

WTF? Surprised I haven't heard of this until now:

I hope the Supreme Court takes one of the cases, and either overturns or modifies this law. Just from the examples shown, it is a bad law.

Thanks for that info. I didn't know about that.

This legal immunity explains a LOT of what many law enforcment personnel show. in their actions.

If you have that almost cover-all Carte Blanche for EVERYTHING you do to people, why hold back? But a court should reconsider. This is leading into a downward spiral, and can and will eventually lead into what just now shows in some US cities.

Well, well - looks like *my* Congresswoman is behind a legislative action to do so:

Here's a 3 minute video that talks about this from a few days ago.

If you like what this guy says then be prepared to go down a deep rabbit hole because he's an awesome independent journo who puts out 1 or 2 vids a day depending on how much is going on, and he's very good at relating things to history, the constitution, the law, and just plain old decency and common sense.
