re: How would law enforcement look without qualified immunity?

I am a lawyer and used to defend municipalities in 1983 actions, relying heavily on qualified immunity. I’m all about having a discussion on the pros and cons of the doctrine, but to say it is not a shield of civil liability (I realize you did not make that statement) when a right is violated is just not accurate.

And I think understanding what the hell we are actually talking about, as a collective society, is important now more than ever.
