    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Axios

    Taking a hard stance against any rollback of qualified immunity is a mistake. I'd be happy to see Congress clarify specific statutory good-faith/reasonableness defenses that don't leave cops totally unprotected from suit.https://twitter.com/axios/status/1272206304174628864 …

    Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) says that ending qualified immunity for police officers is "off the table" for Republicans: "Any poison pill in legislation means we get nothing done." https://www.axios.com/tim-scott-police-reform-bill-qualified-immunity-899fccfe-f517-4512-b890-bd19be0ffbfa.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100 …

        If we had a perfect world where Congress could forsee all possible contingencies and interpretations of their bills and forsee all misunderstandings and resolve them all in advance, that might be the day when courts can stop "making" law.

        I think another reasonable question is what happens if the Supreme Court knocks QI down on its own as they have a case in front of them right now that could do that? Will congress try to legislatively recreate it?

        We have a pretty good idea of what happens when cops become risk averse. It's called Baltimore.

        Replying to @baseballcrank @jadler1969

        I've seen nothing to indicate cops would pay personally vs their employer paying (ie their PD). And if cops would not pay personally, is there evidence that eliminating QI would reduce bad acts by cops – which presumably is the ultimate goal?

        This is the key question. We're really just sticking taxpayers with the tab again. It's not like it comes out of the cop's pocket, and if it did, who'd be a cop?
