The Dems are opposing the Republicans on police reform and the main sticking point is that the Dems want to gut qualified immunity.

What is that? It’s a principal that says cops can’t be sued in a civil case for actions they took on the job unless it can be proven that they knew the actions at issue were clearly contrary to established statutory or constitutional rights. It effectively immunizes cops from civil liability in all but the most egregious cases — and in my opinion the George Floyd case may be such a case.

Now why are the Dems so hot on the issue? As is always the case, FOLLOW THE MONEY! No matter what talking points they put out, the reality is they know that it would handcuff cops who would be reluctant to do their jobs and effectively defund them. But here’s the real point, which I haven’t seen anywhere else so you get to be the privileged few. Remember what I told you a couple weeks ago. The trial lawyers association is a huge contributor to the Dems. Reducing or eliminating qualified immunity would be worth billions to trial lawyers. It’s all about the Benjamins!
