Watch Episode # 63 - Qualified Immunity Turns On Police & Cops Get A Taste Of Their Own Medicine!
Description
Episode # 63
Today on Legalese we will be discussing two truly outrageous cases in which cops were granted qualified immunity.
The first is a unique example of what I call "Blue on blue violence"; a term I coined to describe incidents in which police officers are both preparator and victim.
The second is a shocking example of a citizen who did, quite literally, nothing wrong and yet found himself being followed home by a truly deranged sociopath who not only followed him all the way home, where he would proceed to assault this man right in his driveway... Only to find out this deranged sociopath turned out to be an off-duty police officer who would also be granted qualified immunity.
