Record number of immunity cases are ongoing.

Lately, I have been watching the 3 judge panel hearings that happen almost weekly, on qualified immunity cases. It is amazing the amount of spin that the officers lawyers try to present to the judges. The panel only decides “if” the cases can proceed to a jury trial, based on the evidence that was already accepted and ruled on in a prior trial of the defendants that were harmed by the police. They always let the defendant ( cop attorney) go first and cite prior case laws of what actions were deemed reasonable by any officer to do what they did. Most involve shooting, excessive force, etc.. with rights violations bringing up the rear.

The ones where the cops are allowed a wide birth of making a mistake, are the ones that many officers get away with the most egregious crimes. Example, ( they thought it was a gun, or “resistance ” to their unlawful orders.
