The California Department of Justice has determined that no law enforcement officers will face charges for the fatal shooting of an innocent bystander during a gun battle with a suspect in Norwalk.
Typical cop out...... Next time someone "accidentally" shoots an innocent person they should bring this up to the DA and court.... If it's good for you then it's good for me.. JD
It is not based on any law passed by elected representatives. Qualified immunity is a judicial doctrine created by the Supreme Court that shields state actors from liability for their misconduct, even when they break the law. Under this doctrine, government agents—including but not limited to police officers—can never be sued for violating someone’s civil rights, unless they violated “clearly established law.” While this is an amorphous, malleable standard, it generally requires civil rights plaintiffs to show not just a clear legal rule, but a prior case with functionally identical facts.
Glad I left slummy CA long ago. The only justice you'll get there is the justice you mete out yourself. THEN someone will be accountable to the "Just-Us" system. CC
He fired fourteen rounds and didn't kill the criminal? No wonder an innocent bystander was shot: the officer wasn't qualified to even CARRY a firearm, much less USE it.

Another WIN for "Qualified Immunity"!!!
ReplyDeleteOnly the pigs get the defense claim of "i didn't see him before emptying my weapon downrange." Fuck them.

Sends the message that cops can shoot first and ask questions later.
