I remember this case.
The dispatcher gave the description over the radio, yet they killed the wrong guy.
Thankfully, Colorado has banned cops from hiding behind Qualified Immunity.
-
Agreed (qualified immunity should not apply to cops doing criminal things)
Bad cops need to be identified, prosecuted, and removed (at least from the force, if not from society - eg.: prison)
That doesn't mean all cops are bad. Extrapolation from single incidents is just plain wrong.
-
Under the current law in most states, cops can be protected under QI, even if they have been convicted in a criminal court.
-
How explicitly do I have to make it: we agree on this point. QI is bad law, and bad cops need to be dealt with. Not doing so reflects badly on ALL cops (witness current conditions).
