My father, while serving in the 30th Infantry Division in 1944 as part of the allied campaign to liberate France, was robbed of his legs by a Nazi artillery shell. To compare me to the scum who did that to him is insulting, and evil. Eat shit.

Man, you should've been here a year ago... 

I'm not sure anything can compare to Patine and Mark essentially back-and-forth insulting each other for an entire page in the Ukraine thread. Or the Great Eugene Wars of 2022.

Getting rid of qualified immunity would needlessly handicap our law enforcement agencies, and do nothing to help the common man. But of course, that doesn't matter to the white, suburban, middle class, college kids that push this policy. The plight of high crime communities is of no concern to them, their interest in police reform stems from a need for purpose, a fear of responsibility, and a desire to feel righteous without meaningfully changing their lifestyles, rather than any genuine concern for nonwhites. 

Copaganda.  There are plenty of countries that have no or very limited qualified immunity for police and their police are as effective or more than American cops.  American cops didn't have it until the Supreme Court created it for them in 1967 (Pierson v Ray).  They didn't suddenly become more effective, the available evidence suggests the opposite.
