No

 @9FG7K5H from Texas agreed…6mos6MO

If two people commit the same crime, what justification is there for one to be tried, and not the other? It simply doesn't make sense to grant immunity, simply because one is a police officer.

 @9GT2VLC from North Carolina agreed…5mos5MO

Police often use their Qualified Immunity in abuses to get away with crimes others would be punished for. They should be held to a higher standard.

 @9FJ6GFC from Texas agreed…6mos6MO

the rules/laws are enforced by the police, it defeats the systems purpose if they are not held accountable

 @9FG3TSDDemocrat from Texas agreed…6mos6MO

As a police officer, it is your duty to protect your nation and the people in it, it should not be right to remain an officer or keep your rank after assaulting, murdering, or degrading civil rights from the people you are sworn to protect.

No, and increase the personal liability for misconduct

 @9FCCYZPIndependentfrom Guam agreed…6mos6MO

Police officers are ultimately civilians, so they should be held to the same standard as any other member of the public.

 @9FJC9PTWomen’s Equality from Minnesota agreed…6mos6MO

Therefore, implementation of personal liability and misconduct would hold police officers accountable to the actions we have seen, the crimes that continue to be committed, and to their abuse of power. (ex.Darryl Tyree Williams- died at 32 on Jan 17, 2023 in Raleigh, NC. He was tasered and killed by a cop after he informed them of heart issues.) Source: usatoday.com; SayTheirNames List)

 @9HLWQ69Libertarian from Ohio agreed…4mos4MO

Police should be held to the same legal standards as any other US citizen. They are not infallible just because they have a badge. They are human just like the rest of us and should be treated the same as any other citizen if they commit a crime.

Yes

 @9GBPLJW from Illinois disagreed…5mos5MO

If you give police officers a blind eye to crimes or misconduct they are responsible for, then you might as well let a murderer free to go if he didn’t realize stabbing people was a crime. If you’re going to be a cop, learn the laws you’re supposed to uphold.

 @9FJ6KKW from Texas disagreed…6mos6MO

Your job title does not make you immune to any law. Just because you work for the law does not make you above it.

 @9FDZ2NX from Kentucky disagreed…6mos6MO

The Police and Justice system are already so corrupt in the public eye especially with the riots not happening that long ago.

 @9F7R2RG from Virginia disagreed…7mos7MO

They can get arrested just like anyone else. They are still U.S. citizens and fall under rule of law.

Yes, and provide more training and education for police officers

 @9FJC9PTWomen’s Equality from Minnesota disagreed…6mos6MO

"Education and training" is a pathetic and bare minimum attempt of what we actually need to mitigate the violence we have seen from "law enforcement". You can't help someone who doesn't want to learn or help themselves. Education and training is only for those who are willing and I say "law enforcement" in quotations because they are no longer the enforcement of the law. They are becoming a militarized force of oppression against our people and have committed crimes of their own under the guise of "protecting the people". But they only protect…  Read more

Although, yes more training and education is a step in the right direction. training and education cant change someone's personality and how they think.

 @9FJ697LPeace and Freedom from California disagreed…6mos6MO

raising funds for social programs just for police departments is not necessary and all you're doing is making a useless effort for other people not to benefit off of.

Yes, but only for officers that have a clean record of no complaints

 @8PRWMDM from Minnesota answered…3yrs3Y

No, but provide more training and education for police officers to prevent similar situations.

Yes, provide more training and education for police officers but only for officers that have a clean record of no complaints. Also, do increase the personal liability for misconduct and allow other police officers to call out colleagues for misbehavior online toward suspects; I support free speech 100% in this case scenario.

 @8X4HP32 from California answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, I do support qualified immunity for police officers. However, I do believe that is very important to to provide more training and education for police officers as well. I do believe that when police officers are at fault for lack of judgement or have failed to their job in fairness, should suffer serious consequences.

 @8X2LVFQ from Arkansas answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only if officers have proven themselves to be qualified for immunity; otherwise every cop should be subject to the same punishments for crimes as a citizen of the U.S, that is if they commit them.

 @85SVNQVLibertarian from California answered…3yrs3Y

 @8PFJ5Q7 from Florida answered…3yrs3Y

Officers should receive more rigorous training, thereby lowering the necessity for such an immunity I would advocate for immunity as long as the officer has a history of serving the public and good evidence of his behalf. However if the officer has overwhelming good evidence against him he should be held accountable for his actions.

 @9H8BWVC from Texas answered…4mos4MO

Yes if you hold every officer accountable for their actions we would have no more officers and police on non police violence only makes up to 6 percent of killing in america
