That is criminal investigation and got that woman hurt with a no shit Sherlock behavior. “Qualified immunity” as a matter of a cop working within rules either not yet ruled unconstitutional but later is and maybe reasonable to assume it was legal or a mistake the officer was not in a position to know but that the city or department could be liable is a good thing. The cop worked within the law but this was a suspect was informed their was a witness against them to what, protect his friend another cop. That doesn’t take a lawyer and a court to make that clear that outing her is danger.

[@SiteSpecialistsLLC]

when I was a mortgage broker I had a coincidence of having three separate females who were either ex-girlfriends or ex-wives of police officers that confided in me during the processing of their loan documents probably related to credit issues about the abuse they suffered at the hands of the police officers. I think the country would be shocked to know that high percentage of domestic abuse amongst police officers. in one instance the ex-boyfriend officer kicked in the door of his ex-girlfriend and took a flat screen TV off her wall and two other officers (not in uniform), his friends, came in the apartment behind him and helped. He flatly told her "oh you want to call the police?" and he laughed "just imagine who's going to respond they're all my friends." I actually had some connections with the sheriff at that time and I offered to get involved but she was so afraid of the retaliation she asked me not to say anything and she just accepted the abuse. by the way the flat screen TV was something she purchased with her own money and he decided he wanted it after she dumped him, so it was a burglary and forced robbery by a police officer.

@@davepirtle9790 any time someone starts with "I don't mean, but" then I'm sorry because they absolutely do mean to be insensitive, rude, or disrespectful. They also know that it's socially frowned upon, and they don't want to be perceived as a bad person... If you had chosen to remain out of the comments, or at least chosen to actually be polite and supportive, nobody would have known that you don't like women, and believe that men have the right to take their children against a judge's orders. However, you chose to make sure we all know that about you, and now we can't unknow it. And so many men wonder why women adamantly chose the 🐻 Thanks.

[@pilarskifamily899]

I love how detailed your discussions are. I will be supporting IJ.

[@skoshman1]

I am confused. Isn't Qualified Immunity supposed to apply when the police are doing their jobs? How is this an example of police doing their jobs? Qualified Immunity should not even be applicable in the first place in this instance.

[@hugoh.9694]

What you are talking about is justice. THIS has nothing to do with justice or even LAW for that matter. Q.I. has no basis in law or legal doctrine. 😂

[@NewTypeZero0]

This sounds like such pure negligence and dereliction of duty that it should be clear cut...

[@jasong9774]

The problem has never been bad apples. It is the rotten orchard that protects and promotes them. Accountability is truly the enemy of the corrupt.

[@clintonezekiel5935]

It comes down to right or wrong. We are either going to recognize that or not. There's no other consideration. Government actors should pay for their CRIMINAL actions (and punishment should be severe, bc they come with the power of state). Do you think the judges and prosecutors who also benefit from qualified immunity will ever give that power up? Highly unlikely. This will be a never ending issue. If it was a citizen committing the same crime they would be rightfully punished. We have no control over our government when this becomes the process.

[@Dan-yk6sy]

Its the reason we have the 2a. That's the only way it will change.

[@SkyLeach]

*_How in the seven hells!?_* Under what twisted and abusive system is leaking information about an ongoing investigation to a suspect considered performance of their duties. It's literally a policy violation and a direct repudiation of their duties. That appellate judge needs to be investigated for corruption and abuse and probably disbarred.

[@Absaalookemensch]

Qualified immunity should only apply within conduct within standards of conduct. In obvious commission of crimes, as in this case, qualify immunity should not apply and both officers should face legal consequences for their deliberate actions.

[@jessejamez5985]

Prison.

[@sootymammal2891]

The fact this even needs to go to the supreme court shows how broken our justice system is. END QUALIFIED IMMUNITY NOW!!!

[@jessederks8458]

Would be terrible if both of the officers, the one assaulting her and the one who knowingly gave the information to him, both became felons and ended up in prison for a minimum of 10 years. Then they couldn't even get a job a McDonalds after they got out of prison.

[@aciscol]

There is a huge problem with all this, why would immunity even be an issue with these 2 cops that can’t say they did these bad things as an official act as officers

[@cyclopticclaybuster]

This takes " backing your brother in blue" to a whole new level. Unbelievable.

[@Nuf_Nivah]

That officer wants to be with him

[@carma459]

Female on the phone has a crush on this woman beater in my opinion

[@oldbroad7672]

Yep 💯

[@keithhorning7753]

They should share a cell

[@grammygirlforgod9326]

That was my first thought. My second thought was ‘how is he able to call her in the middle of the night’ unless he has her cell number. 🤔 Wondering if she’s a side piece hoping to be his main squeeze.

Yeah, they were humping, I'm sure. Sick woman.

Naw, it's fixed, as they designed

[@WillKlaver]

.. been there, done that .. even worse when the judge is Corrupt, & Pals with the Defense, & throw in the Court Clerk's Office willing to aid the Defense because they want a Benefit for Themselves at Your Expense .. 🤨⚖️🇺🇲🚫

[@moreanimals6889]

I'm so confused. Why are we talking about needing similar cases when someone did something clearly wrong and why are we talking about how force is used? It's a domestic violence case where one person happens to be a cop, who isn't even at work. It is disturbing, how the courts have clearly, done such a bad job, over time, they don't even know how to function, to the point they can't even prosecute a really obvious case.

[@Lazy_Fish_Keeper]

Look at the organization responsible for several of the current Supreme Court Justices.... and look at how many of these local judges are a part of the same group. The erosion of democracy is intentional, and these people believe in and spread conspiracy theories because they are telling on themselves.

[@Toshineko]

Oh, yeah, sure, they'll say, ''There's no clearly established right" Yet the courts won't even create that right. What a joke!

[@Strideo1]

It's a catch 22 ain't it?

[@sienile]

The only thing I don't like about IJ is they will not represent you unless you already have a lawyer and suit filed. I can never find a lawyer to take my case. No one wants to go against the cops.

[@avsystem3142]

As Steve explained, the IJ strategically selects existing law suits that they determine are good candidates to carry appeals to the SCOTUS in the hope of changing the law nationally. They do not have the resources to do otherwise.

[@IanBPPK]

This is in part how Sandra Birchmore was murdered. I'm glad Desiree is around to tell her tale.

[@KaileyB616]

💯💯💯💯

[@Nuf_Nivah]

Is she because she keeps getting referred to as was

[@IanBPPK]

@@Nuf_Nivah Was is in reference to the events, not her existence. This has been a near decade long fight to overcome QI the officer and department, and most of IJ clients have not been family on behalf of a victim's estate.

[@chickenmonger123]

That’s such an absurdity. Qualified Immunity is an excuse to ignore the clearly established body of Law for any reason. the Judge did not have to rule that way. They chose to ignore what is clearly established regarding the Duty of a Police Officer. And what is far outside of it. Leaking Reports of Criminal Abuse, to the Abuser is well outside of the Line of Duty. And is an Abuse of that Power, and a danger to the Victim of the Crime. That was and did abed a Crime. That is clearly outside of Duty, Abuse of Position, to Conspire to not only hide a Crime, but Facilitate further Criminality. That Judge is no Judge. They themselves are using made up Law, in order to allow the Abuse of Power to continue. I need that Judges name. It’s malignancy should be attached to everything they do and say. Observably. Disrepute upon the Courts is no joke.

[@Nuf_Nivah]

Nobody should get qualified immunity to hide behind and the bad thing is to if she would have defended herself they would have charged her with murder instead of self defense

[@americantrucker9813]

It seems she should have filed a complaint at a different agency.

[@user-ot5mk1lb8b]

All federal and countries(states) govt employees/officers/servants etc must have Accountability and zero immunity.

[@EdP-w3x]

She should have self defended.

[@JeffreyRivard]

Qualified Immunity doesn't apply where personal injury applies and the Officer who is personally contacted doesn't prevent victimization knowing they could, as a polite way to put it. This application of qualified immunity is just bogus.

[@denniskowalski8442]

I understand qualified immunity but not in all circumstances. The only reason to keep it for all circumstances is to allow the courts themselves to be above the law and that's not American or constitutional

[@Clownlife432]

Appreciate your work

[@onecompass7290]

File a civil suit against the individuals.

[@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle]

We don't need more courts making more laws. We need SCOTUS to over turn it's original QI ruling and refer the concept to Congress to make a law on the manner. We need to stop using the courts to unconstituionally legislate because we can't get our shit together as the people in our legislature. End legislating from the bench.

[@johnwest3335]

You mean Anderson v Creighton, where Scalia authored the judgment that the circumstances don’t have to be identical. The problem is that the Roberts Tea Party/MAGA court is dedicated to reversing all precedent that protects the public

[@curtisshepherd-cl2hm]

Thank you ❤

[@robertkelleher1850]

If nothing else, what does "confidential" mean? Does this officer not know what a confidential report is? How obvious can you get?

[@dotseth6492]

Then she was arrested for obstruction of his investigation and resisting arrest.

[@seanlowrey6371]

Knowing that cops in general have issues with domestic violence, why any woman would ever date a cop is beyond me. Risk vs reward

[@aprilfool53]

Get rid of qualified immunity! Police officers should carry insurance like doctors do. Can't get insurance? Can't be a cop!

[@kingmasterlord]

both officers deserve prison

[@sifayun6336]

An example of qualified immunity for the most unqualified of people.

[@jacquessimmons7981]

Cop….Tyrants who knowingly Commit a crime should never be able to use qualified immunity 😡😡😡

Stay on it. To judge these cases by such miniscule distinctions is ludicrous.

[@JayAdams-ml5jf]

WoW, I think I can't be shocked by anything dirty cops do anymore. Yet on an almost daily (definitely weekly) basis, they prove me wrong. This corrupt piece of trash didn't care if the woman was beaten more or even murdered. I cry sometimes when I watch or read these types of reports. What is wrong with our nation?

[@craig8031]

Thanks guys for all you do.

[@w8what575]

The amazing attorneys who handle cases like this and are brave enough to take in the battle of this fight….u all are a blessing and rare gem…those are the types of people I have always admired…when it’s about justice….thats what matters most

[@ericbunker6242]

The complaint was supposed to be confidential and was marked that way? That should be sufficient to disallow immunity. You don't read confidential items to the subject, telling subject who filed it. Whole reason for confidentiality is protect filer. Qualified immunity is too hard to beat. Common sense should apply in law.

[@Traven1021]

My question would be if it's so wide for Courts to say well this wasn't exactly the same facts of any other case then can't they just deny everything?

[@MissingLink-hb9ov]

holy crap, QI for that, no way.. any judge that rules that it is ok for that, should retire.

[@strawpiglet]

That was a violation of her rights with intent to do harm. Throw both officers in jail and throw the ninth circuit in jail with them unless they can prove low mental acuity, in which case they need to be fired. This whole thing about precedence is pure gaslighting.
