"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.
There definitely needs to be more accountability. But we also live in the time were people thrive off of lawsuits. And picking fights over trivial bullshit. Or to keep local/state Governments from throwing Cops who’ve done nothing wrong in the aftermath of an high profile incident, under the bus to assuage mobs of angry citizens as has happened several times already.
You don’t give them some form of protection from frivolous bullshit. The already backed up Court System is going to get backed up even further as people seek to level charges both criminal and civil at the Police over random bullshit. And many Police Departments are already struggling hiring and retention as is.
I’d imagine though the Agenda policy point. Is more just a general broad placeholder descriptor. With the actual details and legalese including what it can and cannot do. And exceptions on where it does and doesn’t apply are going to be hammered out at a later date.
