Do you support qualified immunity for police officers?

Therefore, implementation of personal liability and misconduct would hold police officers accountable to the actions we have seen, the crimes that continue to be committed, and to their abuse of power. (ex.Darryl Tyree Williams- died at 32 on Jan 17, 2023 in Raleigh, NC. He was tasered and killed by a cop after he informed them of heart issues.) Source: usatoday.com; SayTheirNames List)

police are enforcers of the law and for them to disobey it would be even worse than if a normal person were to do it

Power can often get to someone's head and giving anyone, police or otherwise, immunity to being held liable for misconduct, results in crimes being swept under the rug and brushed off. This allows people in power to get away with negative behavior with no repercussions which is an overall detriment.

Your job title does not make you immune to any law. Just because you work for the law does not make you above it.

They can get arrested just like anyone else. They are still U.S. citizens and fall under rule of law.

if the statistics point towards more unjust killings by law enforcement than they need to be held more accountable

Although more training and education for police officers is a good thing it won't stop police from becoming corrupt if they have immunity.

No, police officers need to be punished for existing crimes that they commit while arresting someone.

"Education and training" is a pathetic and bare minimum attempt of what we actually need to mitigate the violence we have seen from "law enforcement". You can't help someone who doesn't want to learn or help themselves. Education and training is only for those who are willing and I say "law enforcement" in quotations because they are no longer the enforcement of the law. They are becoming a militarized force of oppression against our people and have committed crimes of their own under the guise of "protecting the people". But they only protect…  Read more who they want to protect based on their own biases and views, which has led to the cognitive dissonance people have about the police. This is the problem. People blindy follow the "law" and the government without actually questioning if their actions are warranted and people choose to believe in "Blue Lives Matter" or "Back the Blue" regarding the police because it supports their own agenda of racism and white male supremacy. Its obvious what demographic the police supports and vice versa. All you have to do is look at all of the innocent people of color that had their lives taken. Or look at the women who have been assaulted and have told their story to an officer when they had the bravery to call for help and report it, just for the officer to take sides with the abuser and accuse the woman of filing a "false police report" and "crying wolf" against the man even with clear evidence of abuse. Police are not for the people. They are for those who are in power and they continue to abuse their power and use it for evil and wrongdoing. There is clear systematic oppression coming from the police and parts of our government. It is imperative that we take further action than "Education and training" and implement more force on the matter instead of a slap on the wrist. #SayTheirNames #MeToo
