not passive aggressive, real question doesn't qualified immunity apply to cops?
Here is a brief and decent summary of qualified immunity. It does not provide any sort of blanket immunity for cops and I have never seen it used in all of the years I have been working. It would not even be considered in a case like this.

You've never seen a dumbass cop in action then. Most are fine but there are a few who are true idiots.

If this is what happened it is inexcusable.
Which begs the question...since this "officer" was not prosecuted AND remains on the force, do you assume as a fellow officer that the DA and department got it right and that the courts who just awarded the family money got it wrong, or did the court get right what the department and DA tried to cover up? Or this another one of those fence sitting exercises?

Who pays the bill if they get sued for police brutality while on duty?
it depends on who is sued. In brutality cases suits are generally filed against both the department and the officer.

sure i have...i have also seen tons of dumbass criminals. It is pretty much a case of who do you want to believe. Some want to think every cop is a thug pos and some don't. I tend to think the TPOS was the guy who was shot and killed.

I try to avoid assumptions.

so, we're just going to ignore that his fellow officer told him not to shoot, yes?

the cop was cleared of anty wrongdoing...are we going to ignore the actions of the "victim" also?

Do you take into account the fact that the other officer on the scene reportedly tried to get the shooting officer to not shoot due to bystanders being near as any sort of indication as to the trustworthiness of the shooting officer? Assuming THAT officer is telling the truth, can we not take into account his poor judgement there as an indicator as to potential previous poor judgement?

So isn't it tax payer money being used in these suits. Taxpayers should be able to vote and decide who is responsible for wasting their tax dollars

no but it is a special law that cops can use right?

that seems like a blanket statement more suited for a court room than a message board

you mean getting into a vehicle while drunk, after informing the officer that he was drunk?
And DA's offices are never going to be hard or sometimees even fair with these cases...you frick with one officer and you're liable to have the whole department shitting on you. Even if what he did was wrong.

That is actually one thing that would have nothing to do with the case. If anyone feels his/her life is threated he/she may act. If an officer feels either he or the public is in mortal danger he may act. What others have to say has nothing to do with the officers choice of action. another example would be if one officer sees a man lifting a gun and another officer does not see it and tells him not to shoot.

You must not read many of my posts.

using quotes on victim really makes me think you are just an a-hole.
Even if you think the officer wasn't guilty of a criminal offense, how can you think the dead guy deserved to be shot to death?

His actions seem to have been following an officer's direct orders.
