1. Because the duties of a police officer inherently involve them interacting with citizens in ways said citizens will find offensive. Do you think drug dealers and muggers like being arrested? 2. 'Probably' is an incredibly poor argument to make. 'Based on this guess I have about how things...

And once again, reformed, not abolished. If a cop needs to deal with potentially being sued every time he does a traffic stop for a speeding ticket, every time he arrests someone for any offense, if he is vulnerable to a lawsuit at literally any time for any reason, then he cannot do his job...

I don't agree with all of this, but it is at least a framework that could result in a somewhat functional policing system.

How would it make the courts less powerful? No longer having a standard of objectivity to at least try to have judges adhere to, even though they so very often fail (or with many leftist judges, don't try at all), is better than having them be readily and voluntarily partisan. Further, giving...

The problem here is the assumption that openly biased judges would be removed.

What better model do you have for people to try switching to?

Like I said, I absolutely agree that it should be reviewed and set up into a clear legal framework. A cop should know 'If I do X, I might get sued, if I do Y, I won't,' where Y is still a reasonable option for getting their job done. The problem right now, is that if you just remove it...

Pretty much this. Qualified Immunity should be clarified and turned into an explicit legal framework, with very careful limits. But removing it so that every suspect who is handcuffed can sue because 'you unlawfully detained me' is the end of effective policing. Now, removing protection for...
