Don't you think qualified immunity is a bit much? Take the pensions and subtract the money that would have been awarded in lawsuits and it probably evens out to $0.
Retroactively taking retirement funds from people that were expecting them is wrong. Even if 99% of the police deserved it, it would still be wrong.
Ah, so maybe teargassing the 1 "innocent" person in a crowd of 99 "rowdy" protesters is wrong?
Police believe in collective punishment. So deliver it to them.
True, but we can start using them for court settlements instead of taxpayer money.
I’d rather see a blanket ban on defunding any pensions (public or private).
