They provide moral support. They also provide support for policy violations. (Not a civil or criminal court but internal disputes)
For some reason, many people think it is a get-out-of-jail card. It isn’t. It has nothing to do with criminal liability. It is only civil liability.
I get why the judges put it in place. You can’t have a cop sued whenever he makes a minor mistake. The issue, though, is it has turned into a blanket immunity even when they did something so egregious they should be sued.
I was in law enforcement for years. I want to see a reform of the system as we deserve better.
You ABSOLUTELY can have a cop sued for making a minor mistake. They can carry malpractice insurance, just like I do. Don’t give me that shit. There is no reason cops should be immune from lawsuits
What are you going on about? That is what qualified immunity is all about. Civil liability. You can sue, but most likely, the case will be rejected unless there is prior precedent.
That is the only thing qualified immunity covers is civil liability.

Your words
That’s the court ruling. That’s the whole reason there is qualified immunity. Have you ever read any of the court cases?!?!!
I disagree with the court. We’re allowed to do that
