It can indeed be necessary to provide legal protection for people to effectively do their jobs. A stagnant and un-nuanced blanket immunity is the problem. It needs legislation and transparency. Do you remember when there were successful lawsuits after someone pulling someone else from a car after an accident? It had a chilling effect on people helping. A Good Samaritan law was passed to protect people acting in good faith. It certainly doesn't apply to intentional crimes committed under cover of rescue. That's where qualified immunity breaks down. It has been an impenetrable cover for malicious activity.

Qualified immunity should never have been a thing. It’s just a doctrine used by the courts to escape culpability. It’s a disgrace that it is still being used.

As long as police and civil servants are allowed to claim qualified immunity for every misdeed and misstep, the administration of actual justice cannot be served. If there was actual intentional harm inflicted they MUST be held accountable under the laws of our nation. In the USA we say NO ONE is above the law, but qualified immunity has broken this tenet and caused more harm than good in its application. Time for each and every citizen to be accountable and held responsible for their own actions.

End it, abolish it, and never look back. We demand accountability all over the country!

Only people that don’t want to be held accountable would even think of such a thing. Burglars lock their doors, liars are skeptical, thieves guard their property.

The supreme court had no constitutional authority to invoke qualified immunity for government officials. There was no need to have such a policy in place. Nor did they have the authority to declare police are not legally obligated to protect individuals from harm, attacks or being killed. Otherwise this is truly taxation without representation and the taxpayer's should not be funding the police. Unions should be required to pay insurance premiums for police as well as payouts by using police pension funds. I guarantee police misconduct will take a turnaround. Also, the offices should be prosecuted and prosecutors or judges who fail to follow the law and serve justice, should also be held criminally and civilly accountable for blatant miscarriage of justice

The UN Human Rights Council, the NGOs Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, etc. The European and African Unions as well as presidents and heads of government had denounced the mistreatment of black Americans or African-Americans and they continue to do so and that must be why the UN addressed the issue of reparations. The USA is part of the permanent states therefore the USA has the right of veto. But several are trying to obtain a permanent seat for Africa. Malcolm 'in 2021 this was the case but as for South Africa with Israel, justice only concerns the countries of the global south.

28+years in law enforcement myself and qualified immunity is a big part of the problem but not the only problem. I learned from working among them that the culture is another big concern that must be torn down/disassembled altogether. My takeaway after many years is that the culture of law enforcement is simply racist. Concerning qualified immunity and the culture of policing, I contend that you CAN NOT FIX something that needs to be dismantled altogether. Some things are simply beyond repair.

I'm so tired of the racist argument. My husband is as white as they come and he was targeted by an officer. One man. He had his license suspended in one state for a child support issue even though his daughter was in her 20's at the time. He didn't even know it until he got pulled over by this officer. It took months to sort out. In the meantime, this officer ticketed him 3 more times because he said he saw him driving. Didn't pull him over. Sent him the tickets in the mail. Nothing on dashcam. He just said he saw him driving. That's it. And of course the judge believes the police officer. The day after his birthday this officer had his car towed at 7 am because he hadn't put the new sticker on his plate. He cost us over $1,000 in fines and court costs & towing fees. You don't have to be black to be targeted by an officer.

Qualified immunity is a type of legal immunity that protects a government official from lawsuits alleging that the official violated a plaintiff's rights, only allowing suits where officials violated a “clearly established” statutory or constitutional right. 👇 What disqualifies qualified immunity? Violations of the Bane Act: Under California's Tom Bane Civil Rights Act, citizens are legally permitted to sue government officials who violate their constitutional rights through “threat, intimidation, or coercion,” government employees cannot claim qualified immunity as a defense.

They say this applies to "govt officials including police officers." And yet, military police would go to jail if they up and murdered a soldier. That's why MPs don't go around murdering soldiers the way police officers do to civilians. Also, they don't have contempt for fellow soldiers the way police officers literally hate the guts of those they're supposed to be protecting.

About time someone has the courage to speak up & apply

The Supreme Court is trying to overturn every civil rights law, but wouldn't abolish qualified immunity is pathetic. it's clearly a self-interest situation.

Everyone has been screaming for Congress to pass legislation to end qualified immunity. I am surprised no one seems to recognize that Congress did pass legislation on this very subject. 18US1983 was written and passed by legislation to address this very issue. Yet SCOTUS circumvented our legislative branch. What is to stop them from doing the same with any other legislation passed by Congress. See the problem is there is no checks and balances when it comes to SCOTUS. There are no consequences for getting it so egregiously wrong. There are no corrective mechanisms or oversight. No means by which to enforce ethical standards imposed on any lower court justice. There are literally only two means by which a SCOTUS justice can be removed from the bench. Criminal charges or impeachment. Cozy little job for life with no real means of being fired, suspended or disciplined in any way.
