Clark Neily And Star Parker on Qualified Immunity

For nearly 50 years, police and other government officials have enjoyed the protection of a wholly illegitimate, judicially invented legal defense called “qualified immunity.” Cato Senior Vice President Clark Neily visits with activist Star Parker to talk about how qualified immunity came to be the cornerstone of our near‐​zero‐​accountability policy for law enforcement and why the time has come for Congress to replace that misguided approach with one of full and fair accountability.

Love Clarke Neily. I've heard him talk on this topic many times....including today.

What is the status of qualified immunity, as of January 1, 2023.

[@mikepotts8834]

Actually qualified immunity is to protect the legislators because when the legislation passes a bad law it can't violate your rights because it's only words on paper your rights are only violated once the executive enforce it.

I have lost ALL faith in the PD. Training let's them lie, cut corners, etc, etc. I lived on 38 and Eliot in Minneapolis, just two blocks away from George Floyd murder. But it was 1970 and it was different. But in hind-sight, it was happening, just not to me. I would like to see the police training licensed and supervised. So "Killology" seminars would not be allowed. Thanks !!
