I'd imagine if qualified immunity goes away, departments will have to force cops to have insurance. But we should know before getting rid of qualified immunity if you can still sue a department. Cause sure, the individual officer might never financially recover, but the victim still deserves compensation.
I’m sorry but isn’t Hochul the same person that won by 6% in a deep blue state that Biden carried by over 20% just two years ago? Perhaps she should quit putting up conservative judges and signaling opposition to modest common sense reform instead of doing what she’s doing. >

Hochul and Adams are a large part of why Republicans retook the house. They keep pushing Republican Lite talking points, alienating the left-wing and fueling Republicans >

I worked in retail for many years, As a cashier you are responsible for the legal sale of alcohol.  If you do sell to underage persons you can be held personally responsible under the law. This responsibility should be carried over to police. It is a double edge sword. >

Hochul, read the room! Your state isn't exactly a conservative bastion, what are you doing?!? >

The only issue I have with this is let's say you're a victim of excessive force, and it's a pretty open and shut case that you deserve millions. Can you still sue the department and individual officer? Cause if only the officer, how would you get that money? Most don't have millions. >

I dunno. I think we should find out though. If they can ruin people's lives on whims, they should have to deal with getting everything they own yanked away too I guess. Maybe that would incentivize not being a piece of shit, as of right now there is literally nothing to stop it
