$5 a month is all they ask — an absurdly low price for a Lemmyverse of news, education, entertainment, and silly memes.
'Qualified immunity' is a genuine piece of judicial activism, a doctrine created from thin air by the Supreme Court, granting almost limitless immunity for almost anything police officers do. It's why lawsuits over most of the worst atrocities by American police get tossed from court.
So it's news when a court notices that a cop's done something so outrageous that a lawsuit will be allowed.
A bunch of people have been trying to kill qualified immunity recently. The ABA has a page talking about it, which doesn't really pull any punches about what a horrendously bad idea they think it is.
Cops - Teaching people never to call them, one atrocity at a time.
