[@arctain1]

Police officers have, historically, been given the ability make reasonable mistakes. This is due to the nature of the job they are asked to perform - a mistake made, reasonably, may result in the loss of life of another person. The *qualified* immunity (not absolute immunity) protects the People - who have given the task of law enforcement to a trained law enforcement person - from lawsuits for reasonable action taken in the course of the task of law enforcement. This is not only the correct perspective, but one that is steeped in common sense. In this case, the police officer did not act reasonably.

[@HWNY-e2w]

​@arctain1 With this logic, why doesn't doctors have also qualified immunity? I mean they can also made mistakes and kill someone by accident.

[@arctain1]

@@HWNY-e2w - primarily because doctors are not tasked with enforcing the law, but with saving lives. In the case where you are in need of a doctor, and may expire, the doctor is there to attempt to help you, not enforce the law. And thus, the constitutional or statutory rights protecting you are not in question. Secondarily, the doctor is not usually acting in the name of government, the law enforcement officer is. In the course of the duties assigned, the officer is protected from lawsuit for damages, unless the officer violates “clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known". It’s not about ‘mistakes’, but about violations of constitutional rights and statutory rights and responsibilities which get law enforcement into losing qualified immunity. A doctor may make mistakes, and get an insurance claim (or even a wrongful death suit) filed. A LEO mistake, though, has only obliquely to do with qualified immunity.

[@HWNY-e2w]

@@arctain1 The reasoning doesn't hold water. No one is above the law, and ignoring the law is no excuse for breaking it. Unless you're the government itself, it makes no sense. From a legal point of view, a doctor has an obligation to help and treat anyone who comes to him or her. If someone goes to hospital and is refused care, the hospital or the doctor can be sued. What's more, a doctor who makes a mistake that results in death or other complications can also be held liable before the law, despite the fact that his or her primary duty is to save lives, just as a police officer is supposed to protect society. It is legitimate to argue that a person has the right to "reasonably defend" himself against any aggression. Like a policeman, a citizen could claim that he believed the law allowed him to defend himself, because the law does recognize the right to self-defense. Yet justice seems to establish two categories of people: 1. Those to whom justice is not applied with equal rigor. 2. Those to whom justice is applied absolutely. Take a striking example: how can a police officer claim immunity for violating the Constitution, when the latter is the clearest and most absolute law in the land? It is incoherent that the guarantors of the law should be able to evade its application, even though they should be its first defenders.

And even if it's a mistake, it shouldn't absolve the officer from any and all resposability.

I've seen enough with my own eyes in my own experiences and seen enough of others experiences. The general public fears cops for good reason. It shouldn't be like that though. Being "weird" gets you killed or hurt and many people are mentally ill or disabled so they move a bit differently or are neurodiverse and set off the alarm bells of dumb, arrogant cops who think they know what normal is for everyone.

Part of what they do is to play devil's advocate for the arguments being presented by both lawyers. This is to test the robustness of all the arguments presented before them. The goal is NOT to be "consistent" as you mentioned but to point out any obvious lapses or gaps in an argument, regardless of which side presents it. This is how this part of our judicial works to ensure that laws are fairly and accurately applied.

​@@Sometimes_Always this doesn't make sense. To do what you say they are doing, arguing against both sides of a subject, they would have to be consistent. That is what is being praised here. The fact that while arguing and testing the integrity of each argument he is decently consistent and doesn't seem to favor one side over the other like ive seen other judges do. This is like replying to a comment praising an act of giving a homeless person a meal as kind being all like "akshually the point isn't to be kind, its to give the other persons vody fuel to function at no cost to them." Like the whole point is that it is kind to care about another's well being and the whole point of this is that he is being consistent while arguing against both sides and not letting one side get off easy. He is doing his job in a time where judges who do so are getting more and more rare.

[@Ni73sh4d3]

Blue line supporters: "Just comply! Then you won't have any trouble with police!" Countless numbers of innocent citizens: *complies and gets hurt* This is why compliance isn't the answer. Compliance often assures your injury, disability, or death. Nothing will save you from a man intent on punishing you for the crime of not seeing them as a god. It is not the citizens job to appease unstable government dogs. Progress will not be made while citizens are idle, the government has incentives to keep the status quo. We must demand change from our government, and it cannot be done while a significant number are asleep at the wheel. This is the crux of the issue. Compliance with the orders of government officials should AT MINIMUM not result in injury. Until police can guarantee compliance will not result in injury or death every citizen has to do the math of balancing the risk for themselves. This would likely also increase safety for officers, considering the alternative would involve likely injury. However, it's not about their safety, nor your compliance, no matter how much they repeat it. You must recognize their inflated authority and hold them with the deference they think they are warranted. Though today, they've continually demonstrated they deserve only derision.
