The judge also said the officers were entitled under the circumstances to qualified immunity — special legal protections that prevent people from suing over claims that police or government workers violated their constitutional rights.
And there it fucking is.
"Qualified immunity" has very few qualifications.
Good thing everyone had a gun, for safety
Maybe things would turn out better if everyone wielded two guns, maybe three.
With tariff's kids may only get one gun this Christmas. Instead of 2 or 3, or 14.
Little kids age 17, 5, maybe even 10, 11, or 13.
Just one more gun, bro. Bro, I swear
Nipple piercings that can't support, hold & fire a handgun are getting banned.
Genitalia that can't do the same too.
Also any birds on private property should let the owner of that property access their firepower & auto-targeting.
I think everyone should drive around in a tank, and shoot first, ask questions later
What's with all the questions all of a sudden??
Three Gun Style: Ham... BURGER!
And everyone should have a bigger one than everyone else.
As if being unarmed prevents being shot dead by police.
They didn't need a gun to murder George Floyd.
And look at what kind of mess they ended up!
So if I want to kill someone all I have to do is knock on their door late at night and wait for them to brandish a firearm?
And be in the most important protected class: cop.
Only if you're a cop. If you're not a cop, you have to call the anonymous cop tip line and tell them you heard shouting and smelled marijuana.
Obviously don't do this. People could end up for real dead.
Looks like an endless spiral of gun violence. A bit like Schrödingers gun ownership law. You are allowed to own a gun and you are allowed to protect yourself and your family with a gun - but then you are not allowed to do so when the police is at your door, cause they have the right to shoot you if you own a gun and use it to protect yourself.
Just wow. But guns are never the problem, am I right?
Ah and of course ACAB, like seriously
The monopoly on violence is real
Hobbes was right.
Don't forget that you don't know if someone is actually a cop in the moment, or even if they are, you can't know if they're one of the trigger happy cops who are just looking to kill someone.
Police State Things ✨💅
it seems to me that, given qualified immunity, and the cavalier attitude of cops with guns, it's reasonable to make preemptive strikes against law enforcement for your own self defense.
i don't think it's illogical to say that every dead cop makes this country safer.
I learned long ago there are only 2 kinds of cops.
Bad cops and worse cops.
USA, land of the free where you first encourage people to have their own firearms for self defense and then shoot them for it
That's what he gets for checks notes... living at the wrong address.
Methinks that "qualifications" didn't factor in to this immunity at all.
Did you know that many states in the US have more gun deaths per capita than Ukraine during an active war?
Did the police cars have theirs lights on? If Dotson failed to notice that, then is paranoia prevailed too.
