A brutal #beating by deputies was caught on tape. They were cleared by state #police anyway.
The strip search lasted just 6 minutes, but when it ended, Jarius Brown had a broken nose, fractured eye socket & a badly swollen face.

Remember, police misconduct is not new.
The cameras are new.
@benroyce the fact that #cops ain't forced to #ID themselves with their legal name, DOB, POB, legal Address, SSN and license plate is the issue!

On #ThisDayInHistory, in 1992, the #LARiots began. Five days, 63 killed, 2383 wounded, a billion in property damage, and it wasn't enough. 33 years later, #PoliceBrutality is worse, #QualifiedImmunity still exists, and both parties arm the #PoliceState.

AI writing police reports can allow officers to avoid responsibility for said reports
One concern of AI is the ability to abdicate (maybe even say, 'obfuscate') responsibility
Do something bad in report?
Solution for any unethical behavior?
"blame the AI machine"
Maybe some even see this as a benefit. More immunity.

The attitude shown here is extremely common among officers. I have seen it myself. There is a sense of entitlement that comes with a badge and gun when it's linked to a systematic lack of accountability. We have, with #QualifiedImmunity, created a #PoliceState. #AbolishThePolice
…#Trump has garnered support from many #police groups, in part by promising to strengthen #QualifiedImmunity to shield officers from civil #liability for their actions.
…He has detailed plans on his website to direct the #DOJ’s #CivilRights division to investigate “radical, Marxist” state prosecutors whom #Republicans accuse of *failing* to bring NONVIOLENT drug cases or other low-level charges that have disproportionately been prosecuted against #racial *minorities*.
Why Has #QualifiedImmunity Excused #PoliceOfficers’ #Misconduct for Decades?
#Fascist #Republican #DonaldTrump’s #vow to #protect #police from #civilliability, and the recent #premeditated #murder of #SonyaMassey by a #sheriffsdeputy, have brought new #attention to the #issue.

@GottaLaff The lack of clarity on the subject and object of this sentence made it exceptionally difficult for me to read the first few times without a broader context. Shouldn't Trump be asking why cops have #qualifiedImmunity?
Oh, *Trump* didn't ask about it, he was asked *about* it. Me:
The #legislation would increase the use of #BodyCameras, restrict the use of #QualifiedImmunity, ban #NoKnockWarrants & #chokeholds in some cases, limit the transfer of military-grade equipment to police departments & create a national database for officer misconduct allegations.
Police commissioners ensure that LE officers have #qualifiedimmunity across the US.
Since becoming COMR last July, Caban has short-circuited cases involving officers accused of wantonly using chokeholds, deploying Tasers & beating protesters with batons. A number of episodes were so serious that the police oversight agency, known as the Civilian Complaint Review Board, concluded the officers likely committed crimes.

New: Abused by the badge: 100s of police officers have sexually exploited children since 2005.
Arrested officers:
99%: men.
66%: >5 yrs of service.
47%: Chiefs, top sheriffs, or other agency heads.
~40%: WEREN'T SENTENCED TO PRISON.

Lower court judge criticize #scotus
“#qualifiedimmunity “reflects a deep distrust of ordinary people” in direct conflict w/the Constit. In the same way we trust the collective judgment of voters in #elections we must trust the judgment of jurors in deciding cases, Reeves wrote. They can resolve tensions & contradictions case by case, as the evidence dictates. All #judges must do is tell jurors the truth.” -Judge Carlton Reeves, US Dist Court, MS
Clark Neily on X: "Judge Carlton Reeves has criticized #QualifiedImmunity before, but wow, he really cut loose this time. It's extremely rare for a sitting judge to express this level of disdain for a legal doctrine that #SCOTUS has consistently and repeatedly affirmed. /1 https://t.co/1TdShAVOdC https://t.co/Z58WxY3TSU" / X

An extraordinarily important legal decision just dropped, and no one is talking about it
“It has received scant media attention, but it is a very big deal.
In a decision praised by legal scholars for its "power and beauty," Reeves establishes why the doctrine of qualified immunity, which can protect law enforcement officials sued for misconduct, is "unsupportable as a matter of history, text, and policy."
Reeves calls on the #SupremeCourt to acknowledge its mistake and eliminate the doctrine of qualified immunity entirely.”
