Did you even know about this rule?
You probably didn’t but it is one of the reasons why people have to sue cities and police departments as oppose to cops themselves.
Here are the details via PFT.
Police brutality has been fueled in part by qualified immunity, a legal doctrine that routinely gives police officers and police departments a pass when excessive force has been used against a citizen. The potential change flowing from the murder of George Floyd includes an effort to end this defense to civil lawsuits against police who go too far.
The Players Coalition is joining the effort. The organization has announced that more than 1,400 current and former athletes, coaches, and front-office personnel have signed a letter to Congress supporting a bill to end qualified immunity.
NFL quarterbacks to sign the letter include Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Carson Wentz, Joe Burrow, Baker Mayfield, Alex Smith, and Dak Prescott.
It is always good for white NFL players to take a stand with their black brothers.
