SCOTUS Issues Two Qualified Immunity Rulings This Week – FIS 78 – Everything Law and Order Blog

This week the Supreme Court issued two separate rulings in qualified immunity cases involving allegations of excessive use of force by police officers. One out of the 9th circuit, involving an officer placing a knee on a suspect’s back for 8 seconds, and a second one involving a suspect who was shot and killed by police officers while charging at an officer with a hammer. You may have seen the headlines around the interwebs about the SCOTUS strengthening qualified immunity in these two cases, or somehow changing the law in favor of the police. Is this the case? Since excessive force cases are my favorite, let’s go through these together.

  1. None of the females were hurt at all? Where is that info hiding? A crying twelve year old calling the cops with two older females there? Why didn’t mom call? Are you trying to say he was trying to hurt them but couldn’t? With a chainsaw? Them “barricaded” in the other room. He didn’t go outside and bust in a window? This is smelling very fishy to me. I’ve seen women set stuff up like this. “Yeah little twelve year old daughter, call the cops an CRY!” Or the mom could have overreacted and scared the girl. Several scenarios. Then, what, mom had NO IDEA he was a scumbag? How did she miss judge him SO much? None of that proves he wasn’t a threat, but it casts MAJOR doubts, and the cops did ZERO assessment on the situation. They look at any other man like a gorilla looks at a rival male. Take them out of circulation and that makes more women in general available. I’ve seen so many situations where a woman was selling drugs with her boyfriend or husband, spending the money, doing it all, and only he goes to jail. Even when the cops were surveilling the house and saw both of them fully participating. Lots more on that but…later.

  2. It used to be " put your hands behind your head " now its " GET ON THE GROUND NOW "! Why the change? Because this way cops get to SLAM 5 knees into your back and kidneys!

  3. You don't have a video 0ne that I have seen that I don't learn something new…..I want to be a constitutional lawyer , so I'm studying everything I can at the law library..

  4. I would like to see every officer have to write an essay on the 1st 2nd 4th and 5th Amendments as well as when use of force is justified and to what extent.. and explain it accurately before they are allowed to go out and patrol.. that way they will be able to prove that they knew better in the most frequent violations

  5. Why weren't the Police body cams video AND audio working BEFORE they got out of their cars, since they ALREADY KNEW "supposedly", that the man was drunk and disorderly? This is a pattern of some Police Departments. The body cams are only showing HALF of what actually happened! If the audio isn't working half the time, the whole matter is SUSPECT!!! Things like this are what makes you think about the honesty of the Dept.

  6. If and when we the people realize that qualified immunity was born out of racism and white supremacy maybe it might get ended. Just go do some research of the first cases that set the precedent. Should be clear cut if your a critical thinker.

  7. Do you think the SCOTUS will ever abolish qualified immunity?
    Because of the police are, I 100% support every single cop that gets shot in the face.
    They've become nothing short of pure evil.

  8. I wonder if anyone really expects SCOTUS to reverse decision on a doctrine they originally implemented in the first place. There are hundreds of section 1983 cases that are so blatantly apparent that violently violate the civil rights of a citizen in QI cases, that should be heard and considered by scotus. They are not because this would really force the hand of the justices to do the right political thing and, it will be a rare thing to reverse themselves. When laws are made political, they lean to the party in office. Look at the skirting of the Roe V Wade going on in Texas. Anyone wanna guess how this goes next when it come to socus in the next month or so? R v W is so entrenched in law that now taking little bites out of it like what is being established in Texas and Mississippi will eventually erode the entire thing or make it seem that way as each bite is allowed. These little bites, allowed by scotus will eventually bypass and undue R v W.
    Democracy: Two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner.

  9. Can you explain how the SCOTUS dictated QI without legislative approval process and POTUS signing into law. SCOTUS is what I thought was only interprete laws thereby setting precedent.

  10. I can't understand why attorneys do not challenge QI on the basis that a) there is no law creating QI and b) SCOTUS does not have the power to legislate or create law from the bench, therefore QI is just a legal theory, not law.

  11. How does trespass work? The judge dropped the charges, but the police officer said I couldn't go back for a year. Does the officer overrule the judge?

  12. I always love your breakdowns, and I’m looking forward to your next one. But I truly hope that you get the audio issues from the last few videos figured out by then. Regardless, happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

  13. The Supreme Court is actually turning into a joke. These asshats get a lifetime pay check now to do absolutely nothing. There are a waste of time and air. And they have been trying to say otherwise with the public meeting. If you clearly have a crime but won’t rule on a case because of precedent then you are useless

  14. ALWAYS KEEP IT UPPERMOST IN your MIND
    WHEN ENGAGING WITH POLICE-SERVANTS
    THAT THEY THINK THAT THEY OWN YOU !
    AND IT IS VERY HARD TO WEAN THEM OFF
    OF THIS HOGWASH, THEY´D RATHER DO
    YOU A GRAVE BODILY INJURY THEN TO LET
    GO OF THIS HOGWASH !
    Remember Karen the 73 year old demented
    woman whom they attacked & brutally injured
    and THEN LAUGHED ABOUT IT BACK AT THE
    POLICE STATION as if it were the world´s
    greatest and funniest joke ever……….
    Let this SPINE-CHILLING truth sink in !

  15. I have a feeling that it will require legislation to remove qualified immunity. This is especially true since SCOTUS created Qualified Immunity and it is Stare Decisis for them.

  16. Has anyone brought up the fact to the U.S. Supreme Court, that 'Qualified Immunity' was created violating the U.S. Constitution? It was created out of whole cloth by the SCOTUS, yet the Constitution specifies that the Judicial Branch (Article III) can NOT 'Make Law', that is strictly a Legislative Branch (Article I) Power. Which means Qualified Immunity violated the Separation of Powers since the U.S. Congress NEVER passed a Law of 'Qualified Immunity'.
