I did mention qualified immunity
all I know is that I’ve worked in mental health for a long time and a great deal of that time was spent working in mobile crisis units. These worked closely with police, as at the time 988 didn’t exist so people called 911 during crisis. The police we worked with were overwhelmingly the most callous, cruel, and disgusting people I have ever come across in my life. News reports show that this is not a local issue but a national one.
I am not surprised by what happened to this man. This is a systemic issue. That is why I say the system of policing needs to be dismantled. The people involved are all either scumbags that get off on being cruel or people that are willing to turn a blind eye to such behavior.
Additionally I left that job because reporting police misbehavior to supervisors multiple times resulted in absolutely no consequences. I would not be surprised to find out if all of those cops still work there or are promoted to supervisory positions as it’s been like a decade. The rot is deep and the protections for their misbehavior run rampant
