Current QI does NOT cover someone who commits a 1983 civil rights violation. QI isn’t about shielding someone who violates civil rights or commits a crime. It is about people not filing suit because they don’t like the way the officer resolved a neighbor dispute or a barking dog call.
Are you a lawyer? I’m not trying to be argumentative, but your comment is at best not articulated accurately and at worse wrong. Qualified Immunity does shield government actors from civil Liability when the right Is not “clearly established.”

Correct, because it's idiotic to suggest that a person who has to make a split second decision can be liable for violating something which a Court hasn't even determined to be a right.
