Yeah, the taxpayers will always pay (btw LEO's pay taxes too, so they're one of those taxpayers) if a lawsuit succeeds. In fact the city/county/state will often settle out of court for even very weak lawsuits to avoid the possibility of a sympathetic jury handing the plaintiff a win (and in civil court unanimity is not required). So imagine LEO's having to deal with lawsuits against them personally on that scale simply because they're doing their job. I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but most people aren't happy about being arrested. Additionally, most criminals take zero accountability for their actions. If you want to effectively end policing in this country and give criminals free reign then seek to end qualified immunity. You'll be living in The Purge within twelve months.
I don't have to explain it you are well aware I'm sure. Just as I'm sure you like the way it works because of your job more than because you just like qualified immunity.

The rest is hyperbole as I never said "end qualified immunity". You're just arguing to argue.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
