But seriously some people try to hustle folks and they know what buttons or what trigger words they need to push to get the reactions from their intended audiences.

Fifth Circuit reversed a decision to grant Qualified Immunity by the federal court in the Eastern District of Texas (EDTX) for a law enforcement officer who coerced a member of the public to expose her genitalia for his sexual gratification.
A state actor (not limited to law enforcement officers) may be granted Qualified Immunity for civil action in the absence of a clearly established rights violation, and "clearly established" frequently necessitates that a) a state actor would reasonably understand that actions constitute a rights violation at the time of the actions and b), a much higher hurdle, that a judgment has been made against a state actor in a lawsuit over nearly identical circumstances. That absurd standard means that Qualified Immunity is granted, as it was by EDTX, for even plainly egregious offenses.
Qualified Immunity is a barrier to justice and it needs to go.

I'm glad they are being charged but we'll see what happens from here. I don't get too excited about charges let's see if they stick. On the other case cameras whether body or phone have been a great weapon in shining a light on this bad behavior by police officers. I'm glad they got caught in their lies

It looks like the focus is on rights violations that precipitated warrant execution and Taylor's execution, and that are a matter of record.
Edit:
4 former and current Louisville police detectives federally charged in Breonna Taylor raid
The U.S. Department of Justice made the announcement on Thursday morning.

I hope they resurrect them after they die just so they can serve the sentence again.

Seems like calling for a welfare check is more like calling for a beating from police these days.
And ****ing disgusting reporter trying to make it seem like it’s all justified because she was setting a cloth mask on fire and exposing herself after they started trying to arrest her. She isn’t even charged with anything, so why would they arrest her then huh? If she is having a mental health crisis, that’s not going to help anything.

Sounds like she'll make a fine police officer one day. Will barely need any training at all.Chicago police recruit battered suburban cop during weekend stop, arrest report says; 'How else was I supposed to get away?' she allegedly asked

What kind of ****ing moron willingly stops their vehicle on train tracks, leaving behind another incapable of escaping it and the train about to hit it?
Oh, right...

I mean they're cops so the odds are pretty good, but I think this skews more stupid horrible than pure horrible horrible.
Silver lining: No Qualified Immunity in Colorado. The ****wits can definitely still be protected against prosecution from within but they won't get automatic benefit from the courts based on absurd existing judgment standards if this goes civil.

Even still. There's a point at which you do something that is so stupid that even if it was unintentional it's basically wilful ignorance. If you drive a car, stop on train tracks and walk away from your car even if it was a "mistake" it's such an egregious error that you're basically a walking time bomb.Train hits police car, seriously injures detained woman

Someone with that little regard for their surroundings shouldn't be allowed to operate a toothbrush unsupervised, let alone a vehicle and firearm.
