You can't have good community policing without qualified immunity. Especially in the US.
Have a look at the Peelian principles of policing:
This one in particular:
To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.

That gets tossed out the window when the police can do whatever they want.
 
Yeah but boohoo for all the innocent people who are ****ed with by cops and have no recourse because of qualified immunity, amirite?
Well it would help if you knew what qualified immunity is.

It protects police when acting in "good faith" that's a legal term. Look it up
 
Statistics are cool, I just wish people like you and Jabulani would be a bit more honest when using them.
You keep saying that. You keep saying that we're being dishonest. It's not dishonesty because the stats don't look cool.
Let's give you another one.
54.2% of mass shootings since 1982 have been committed by white people.

Demonstrate the dishonesty above.

Yeah no ****. Problem is that it is given a very wide berth in terms of what they're allowed to do with zero repercussions, something a lot of cops/officials take advantage of.

A simple stat measuring one aspect of a shooter/criminal, in this case race is the problem. but of course simply quoting stats about race suits your narrative because you can use that as a way to excuse police brutality and over reach when it comes to the black population.
 
Some are dead
Oh no. A few people have died. Out of the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of interactions with police across the US every year.
Now show me where a policeman got off for killing someone without going through a court of law? Just got off scot-free. No investigation. Just killed someone, and everyone was like, eh it's OK.
This is the other thing people seem to hate.
That policeman KILLED someone and GOT AWAY with it. Then you find out they went to court and were found not guilty.
But then we go to the next step and blame the justice system for not coming out with a verdict we all wanted.
 
Am I missing some part of the conversation? You said ALL THE PEOPLE affected as if it's massive and prevalent . OK, so demonstrate to me how many people have been screwed by police and then no punishment came to that policeman. Because that's what you're implying. You're implying police just do what they want and never get punished and that we must accept that because we see a few examples in videos, because that's what they are, a few isolated examples.
