Thanks for that response. Knew you’d have some insight on that. To me, eliminating the immunity creates a liability nightmare.

People think it sounds good, but like most liberal ideas, have no idea what the negative effects will actually be, which would be disasterous

The question is are the negative effects justified? If the answer is yes, it's time to pay up.

We always talk about the standard cops are held to and qualified immunity basically means that standard doesnt exist in court.

Personally I wouldnt do away with all the protection it provides but it needs to drastically get cut back. Because that protection means the bad cops slide thru even easier. Which means less pressure on the cops and elected officials to make real changes. It's the same ole same ole big government bs of constantly kicking the can down the road for someone else to deal with. Now we have so many years of neglected reality to deal with.

Imagine an officer being sued in federal court on EVERY traffic stop he does (because he placed someone in handcuffs, or because he made an OK sign to his partner, or because he called a man dressed like a woman a female by mistake when he first encountered them, or because he didn't give "enough" CPR or Narcan to an overdose patient, or thousands of other illegitimate and frivolous lawsuits. That plus the officers and the departments both having to pay thousands of dollars extra for liability insurance would assure only a few things:

-there would no longer be police officer candidates and every local police department in the country would become federalized
-no more traffic stops/response to 85% of calls for service
-arrests/citations in general would not ever happen without a lawsuit by a lawyer looking for $$

This doesn't prevent bad cops from happening, if an officer is truly doing misconduct or illegal activity, they don't have immunity

It prevents police from dealing with and arresting criminals

Except I didnt say do away with it. I said cut it back.

I dont have to imagine those things they exist for the rest of us too.

Remember how tone deaf that cop in NY sounded about things being hard on them. That's how you are sounding right now.

Is this a legit proposal by Sen. Martha McSally? It looks like something a free-spending liberal would have proposed in the 80's. Like Lawton Chiles or Robert Byrd... that is bat $hit crazy. Republicans wont say a word though.

Yes it’s legit. She got the idea from the the U.S. Travel Association.

Good I love watching the Keebler Elf and the orangutan go at it. Love the veiled reference to Alabama's refusal to comply with the civil rights laws of the 1960s. Nice dog whistle Jeff!

Tennessee Senate Candidate Resigns from Board of Agriculture Firm Promoting BLM Radicalism

Bill Hagerty, a GOP candidate for U.S. Senate in Tennessee and President Donald Trump’s former U.S. ambassador to Japan, resigned on Saturday from an agriculture firm that he discovered was promoting Black Lives Matter (BLM) extremism.

Hagerty, who is endorsed and supported by President Trump, made the decision to resign from the board of R.J. O’Brien when he found out the firm was actively promoting the Marxist BLM movement.

Hagerty wrote in his resignation letter to R.J. O’Brien’s CEO Gerald Corcoran, which was obtained by Breitbart News:
