  1. Why it matters:

    This decision makes it harder to hold police legally responsible after crowd confrontations, signaling courts are still putting officer protections ahead of protesters' rights.

  2. “A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody, ought not to be trusted by anybody.” —Thomas Paine.

    One of the biggest issues with #ICE, #CBP, and other federal agencies is so-called #qualifiedImmunity. It allows the agents to act with impunity and leaves those suffering violations of their rights with little recourse.

    In this 50min. #Amicus #podcast, law Prof. Alex Reinert provides an excellent explanation of the issues and problems.

  6. @Pinchy63 Cops like that are a danger to the public. We need to remove #QualifiedImmunity & get rid of police unions. Their unions fight to get criminal cops off the hook for crimes against humanity.

  11. Everything we know about the Minneapolis tragedy, and the unresolved question of whether the use of deadly force was really necessary in light of all the known circumstances (court precedent states probably not), and whether the courts will deny qualified immunity.

  12. The murderer of #ReneeGood will never face justice.

    Never.

    This is the reality of America under a wannabe Mussolini.

    The loony right will scream #qualifiedimmunity”. They’re wrong, but that’s not the biggest problem.

    The real—and terrifying, and infuriating—obstacle is that the DoJ is turning a blind eye to fascist violence on our streets as a matter of policy.

    What Red Don apocryphally said about getting away with murder in the middle of Fifth Ave now extends to the entire Federal government. Every ICE thug. Every corrupt executive branch ass-licker. And by extension, every billionaire.

    One day this country might return to cherishing and protecting the #ruleoflaw. But today isn’t that day.

  17. In addition to #federal #immunity, the agent could argue that his actions were reasonable under the #Constitution, that he acted in self-defense or that he did not act with intent to harm or kill.

    Federal officers are immune from #civil lawsuits unless their conduct clearly violated a constitutional right.

    This #legal standard, known as #QualifiedImmunity, has become a highly effective tool for shielding #police officers accused of using #ExcessiveForce.

  26. Another example of police misconduct that would likely not take place if the court manufactured #qualifiedimmunity doctrine did not exist. If cops knew for certain they'd face criminal and/or civil penalties for rights violations, many would likely leave policing....which would be a good thing.

  27. Brenna Perez made a very nice video for ICE to check in on a minor thing for them: qualified immunity.

    Not sure if everybody at ICE will be happy with the news.
