    Police officers enjoy a "qualified immunity" to their job, under the understanding that they are in a hazardous profession.... but when they are faced with a choice of engaging in that hazardous professional action that affords them the qualified immunity, they're able to... say that it's not their job? Their embrace Dave Grossman's training which has touched every single aspect of almost every police officers training; they are trained to think they're soldiers, get to choose when they are soldiers, and then do not have to have consequences when they choose not to be, or when they choose to? This is the very definition of being "above the law."

      The modern "qualified immunity" that the courts have falsely given police stems from the 1982 Harlow v. Fitzgerald case, a U.S. Supreme Court decision. That decision dealt with a Department of Defense analyst. While common law has always provided police with the option of a "good faith" defense, the Rehnquist Supreme Court started the ball rolling, to give police near absolute immunity from civil and criminal liability. You know, absolute power. Look up "qualified immunity" in Wikipedia before you make up stuff.

The former may be quicker in the short-term, but has a high likelyhood of major pushback, whereas the second is not likely to happen anytime soon, but once it does it will be simple and relatively painless to enact change at the federal level

      About 125 people a day off themselves. One every 11 minutes. We don't talk about this.
      Average 188 people a day overdose and die from opioid overdose. Guess they don't matter.
      383 people a day from alcohol. No one talks about how booze is literally toxic.
      An average of 53 people a day are murdered by firearms. But we only talk about the ones that enforce the narrative the ruling class wants to propagate.
      Open your eyes. People die. We need to get our MF priorities straight. Pour all the money wasted by these congressional hearings into mental health treatment and you can make an impact on ALL these deaths.

      Guns have not changed much in decades. A quick search shows the semi-auto rifle was created in 1885. So it isn't the fault of the gun. What has changed in the past 10+ years is the suicide rate among kids, increase in single parent homes, and parents choosing to entertain their kids with electronic devices instead of building real relationships with them. When we stop pointing the blame at inanimate objects and start asking what is causing the mental instability in our youth, we might make some progress to fixing the issue.
