    Police Chased the Wrong Man, Then Shot Him and Watched as He Bled Out

    Sheriff’s deputies in Michigan fired 27 shots at John Jenuwine. “He was not the guy that they were supposed to be chasing,” said the victim’s father.

  2. @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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Screw #qualifiedImmunity: individual officers who make these extralegal decisions to kidnap and deport based on no legitimate reasonable suspicion whatsoever should face criminal indictment.

    "Just following orders" is not a defense in the United States of America in 2025.

  7. This week, in #Hernandez et. al. v. City of Los Angeles (docket no. 21-55994), the US Court of #Appeals for the Ninth Circuit chipped away at the misguided #legal principle of #qualifiedImmunity. The case involved a female officer, Toni McBride, who put six bullets in a suspect—the last 2 of which were fired while the suspect was "rolling on the ground".

    In a 6-5 en banc decision, the court overturned a 3-judge panel's ruling that qualified immunity protected (now former) Officer McBride, based on a horrifying 2017 precedent from Orange County in which a Sheriff's Department officer essentially executed a prisoner, firing six shots into him after he'd already been hit several times and was lying on the ground. (In the earlier case, Zion v. County of Orange, the officer then stomped on the mortally wounded suspect's head.)

    It's always good news when cops are held to account for their actions.

  8. Without exception, every single person I've ever met who both understood and supported #qualifiedimmunity was someone to whom it applies. #police, #teachers, everyone who knows what it is and supports it stands to benefit from it.

    It's one of the reasons I support #schoolchoice; teachers in private school stand to be held accountable if they violate the civil rights of your children. Government teachers do not.

  9. AI writing police reports can allow officers to avoid responsibility for said reports

    One concern of AI is the ability to abdicate (maybe even say, 'obfuscate') responsibility

    Do something bad in report?

    Solution for any unethical behavior?

    "blame the AI machine" 🤖

    Maybe some even see this as a benefit. More immunity.
