When her family sues, the pig is going to make a qualified immunity defense. It's fucking disgusting.
I don't think qualified immunity affects civil suits like wrongful death. AFAIK it only covers criminal charges like murder.
Other way around. Qualified immunity prevents cops from being sued. It does not shield them from criminal charges.
(The corrupt prosecutorial and judicial systems do that instead.)
It covers civil liability if you meet the requirements listed in Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800 (1982).
Homer Simpson: "Only covers criminal charges... so far"
“The department holds the individual responsible for sending the threatening email fully accountable for setting this tragic chain of events into motion.
"Guys it's literally not even the drivers fault"
Man, fuck the police.
Some A-Train shenanigans afoot
What kind of dillweed makes a bomb threat with no demands attached? That's some real amateur hour stupidity, right there, unless there was a demand and it just wasn't disclosed. 'Cause otherwise, there's no point.
Law enforcement is going to get the target the hell out of the area and then find the bomb you just told them about, or not if there was in fact no bomb (which seems to be the case here), so either way your presumptive target is not going to get got no matter how you slice it.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
I’d watch MTG burn.
Leave the MTG dumbshit alone, the opposition should never harm a complete idiot. The classic example, the Allies never tried to assassinate "The Little Fucking Austrian Corporal," because they knew who fucking everything up.
