  • Tell me you didn’t get the joke without telling me.

    Qualified immunity

    A significant amount of criticism contends that qualified immunity allows police brutality to go unpunished.[6] Legal researchers Amir H. Ali and Emily Clark, for instance, have argued that “qualified immunity permits law enforcement and other government officials to violate people’s constitutional rights with virtual impunity”.[45] Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has noted a “disturbing trend” of siding with police officers using excessive force with qualified immunity,[46] describing it as “sanctioning a ‘shoot first, think later’ approach to policing”.

    The joke being that the suspect was an offer who showed up, claimed that their life was in danger, and shot everyone to death. The officer will then use qualified immunity as a defence to an extrajudicial killing.










  • “In such cases, adults must be held accountable for their responsibilities to ensure a safe environment for their children,” police said in a statement.

    Okay, I get the rational behind it.

    Gastonia police declined to comment to NBC News, but said in a statement that “there is no evidence of speeding or wrongdoing on the part of the driver, therefore no charges have been filed. The driver continues to be cooperative and the incident remains under active investigation by the Gastonia Police Department’s Traffic Division.”

    Except when you drive a car, fuck it! You can do whatever you want. As a driver of a vehicle that can kill people, you don’t have be responsble for anything.
