[@JohnSmith-vy4lh]

This behaviour of the state lawyer brings lawyers reputation into question. He is trying to defend the indefensible in the most pathetic matter. You tube is awash with videos of police violating people rights in the most horrendously violent fashion. The police authorities are out of control, and this behaviour goes on because the courts let them get away with it, which makes them complicit in this unlawfulness. Obviously the arresting policeman is not fit to deal with the public in any way, and should be prosecuted and given a custodial sentence. And any member of the police trying to cover for him should be dismissed.

@@georgelugenalt200It shows how difficult it is to overturn a precedent in the current US legal system. There is no such thing as Qualified Immunity in law yet based on precedent it’s now the go-to defence anytime an officer if accused of almost any wrongdoing. I think many of these jury’s don’t agree with what the officers have done but are given instructions of law that tie their hands. I’m sure some jury’s just back the blue but I don’t think that’s the norm. We need to overturn qualified immunity and at the very least it should be reserved for only the most extreme circumstances, I believe officers who go into harms way do deserve a certain level of protection but they need to justify their behaviour and if there’s injury then the Agency should be culpable civilly even if the officer avoids criminal consequences. It’s laughable to me when an innocent person is killed/injured & the officer is given qualified immunity and even though everyone agrees the injury/death was wrong that automatically means the injured isn’t entitled to seek civil redress.

THIS ISSUE MUST BE ADDRESSED...JUST LIKE' NOT INDICTING' A SITTING PRESIDENT IS NOT LAW EITHER

[@ammoalamo6485]

So that's where this QI mess started - to protect cops from a civil suit after they committed an obviously illegal arrest of black people sitting in the White waiting room. A Rosa Parks type event. I'm 73, and I recall Segregation in public and private facilities quite well. The department store had two drinking fountains, one white porcelain, one black porcelain. For some reason, the (black) cleaning staff kept that shining black fountain clean as can be 24/7 - It was such a grand sight that as a white teen I had to drink from it to see if it tasted different, and of course it was the same city water. Another store had a restaurant, wirh a sign "Colored Served At Lunch Counter Only". It was seen as degrading for a white waitress to take a food order from 'colored' and deliver their food, but by segregating 'colored' to the Lunch Counter it gave Whites their 'right' to be segregated from the 'colored.' Of course all the schools were segregated, only starting integration in my high school 1967-68 with six brave black kids - who went everywhere in a block, probably afraid of racism, though other than the fact of segregation I saw no overt racism during that year. And yes, in 1967 the 'colored' were still expected to move to the back of the bus, despite often being elderly and infirm females going to cleaning jobs. You would think that by 1988 racism in city government at least would have changed, but there was only one road from white Wichita Falls into the northeast black neighborhoods, and it crossed sixteen railroad lines. A couple of years later the city finally routed a nice bypass overhead to allow free access without waiting on or dodging trains. Today in 2024 schools are being re-segregated by voucher programs in which schools are more free than one might expect to find reasons to exclude the poor, the people of color. My small county of 35,500, with a school population of only 8K, managed to split into four different school districts when integration arrived; they were trying to zone out the blacks. Two of the six barely have over a thousand students, but of course have a full admin staff and a fancy football stadium. If one were not racist, the county would have one district to save taxpaying homeowners from duplicating staff and facility expenses.

[@jesarablack1661]

Not only is Qualified Immunity not the result of any law, it is in direct Contradiction of both laws predating it (such as the "Under Color of Law" statute), and passed after its invention (Such as a similar, civil statute, that is explicitly focused on cases that qualified immunity is used to deflect from), as well as US obligations under international treaties on Human Rights (as has been repeatedly flagged by the UN).

[@margelittleboy]

@@ammoalamo6485 are at comment. We are the same age and appreciate how well you explain the segregation issue. The high school I went to an offered chance to do a student exchange from our 99% white suburban school, to a city high school that was probably 75% “colored”. At the time I worked as a volunteer in the emergency department of a hospital in that neighborhood and would take 3 buses to arrive at the hospital. In summer I would often leave the hospital and walk well over a mile, thru the neighborhood that 3 years previous had been the sight of riots. (This would avoid one bus transfer and give me a chance to unwind from what I had witnessed during the 8 hours I had been in the ER.) I had neglected to mention to my parents that I would do that walk, which, when somehow they discovered I had been doing that found them to be very upset. I never felt frightened for taking this walk, the majority of patients seen in the ER were from this area and certainly gave me a better understanding of how dramatically different my home and suburban community was to the city environment. Going into their high school was a huge shock, as the students did not have the essentials we had in our school. Their high school experience was absolutely different than mine. To this day I don’t understand why this nation has such an issue with the various ethnicities that reside in our Republic. I did become a nurse, predominantly pediatrics was the area I worked in. Children are color blind. Hate is learned, toward color of skin, religion, etc. I’ve worked with medical staff from all over the world and find many are much better trained than those who have graduated from some very elite schools in this country. That racism exists today, to the extreme it does, is very disheartening. We have learned nothing from our history and are definitely repeating it. This is very sad. In your community it sounds like the school board needs to be completely purged. What I’ve found in our school district, the voting schedule does not get publicized as much as regular voting, being held at a different time of year as well. There ends up being only 1500 +/- voters turning out for a community the same size as yours. Those votes make the decisions of not only who is on the board, but also the budget and proposals. I know I find this very frustrating, as every budget approval raises our taxes and our students are exposed to things, that back in our day would have been considered pornography. At least we have just one high school!

He did not even ask me what my disability was and how my dog Assisted me. He didn't care that I really needed him. He got real nasty with me and said I've asked you nicely now I'm telling you put your dog up and get over here and talk to me now. I wasn't even in my vehicle when this all occurred. I was walking out of my friend's house with my friend., And my car was parked in his yard which I believe his private property. Anyway the he proceeds to search me when I said no searches. Then he arrests me for Drugs when he hasn't yet. Searched anything else to find drugs. He then told me get in the police car but as i was trying he kept shoving me violently shoving me into the side of it several times. I Ask for his supervisor and He refused to call them. I was then detained in handcuffs for 45 minutes until he decided to tell me he gonna search my car.& he said he had probable cause. said he could search anything because he had probable cause. Not once did he ask my friend any questions or search him. And I believe it is a federal law to separate a disabled person from their service animal., So at that point in time he broke his qualified immunity. which he didn't care. I'm still trying to personally fight charges get them dropped against me. Because the stupid county I was in for 30 days, Public defenders Told me I had no choice but to take the plea deal To get out.

"IF" 14 year-old is NOT autistic, he's STILL a 14 year-old in the company of a guardian, isn't he? How are the Cop's continued actions warranted? What is the "I didn't know" argument?

This cop sure doesnt seem like a drug using expert to me, seems to me like hes everything but an expert on any damn thing, specially anything thats got to do with being a so called police officer,,,,he seem to me like hes just a damn no good mean ass tyrant using the colors of the law to assault people with, mainly to young teenagers that doesnt know there constitutional rights , thats exactly how i see this damn cop !

The officers claims to be an expert, in which case, he would KNOW what autistic actions look like, and would take that into account. Claiming to be an expert makes his actions even worse than it would be for a non expert.
