"I'm giving federal immunity to police officers so they can do their job." - DJT
Look around, how are LEO'S treating us with qualified immunity? We cant trust these people with Federal immunity! They already walk around like Feudal era Samurai, mercing citizens at the slightest provocation. This is the first and only agenda 47 item im against and I need to know how the community feels about it.
We gotta get someone in his inner circle to talk him back from a huge mistake here. Why are we giving the greatest amount of latitude to those with supposedly the most training, and then holding the untrained citizenry to the highest moral standards of all? Police need more ACCOUNTABILITY, not immunity.
He does mean with exceptions. I would expect it means an investigation can happen, but while that goes on the officer is totally backed up and shielded from harassment (immunity). But there could be an investigation to remove the immunity in cases where that investigation shows serious wrongs etc.
At the moment, the officer is thrown to the wolves when there is just an accusation, they should be immunised against that for sure.
Trump clarified this at the black journalists convention thing. Funny, they asked him "hur dur, so what exactly is a BLACK JOB MrPresident" and he should have said "well, what is a black journalist?"
