SCOTUS CLEARLY just said it's a state and local matter until Congress passes a law like the above. Sooo: people have to lobby for it with their congresspersons!

Today SCOTUS declined to hear 8 cases pertaining to qualified immunity. https://t.co/vAL6s2D3vC

Citing work from Reason, @TomBrady and 1,400 other athletes from the NFL, NBA, and MLB are urging Congress to support @justinamash in ending qualified immunity. https://t.co/VAbodzPpOm

It's a racket alright. Everything rotten and most scams are worse or based in Florida.

If you’re still not convinced police unions are a problem, I present
-a cop who fed a homeless man a shit sandwich
-a cop who used the N-word while arresting a black man
-a cop who challenged a prisoner to a fistfight in exchange for his freedomhttps://t.co/UWgKDNXxB6 pic.twitter.com/VY5CKR0Ciq

“Twenty-seven of the 40 SAPD police officers fired between 2010 and 2019 have managed to get their jobs back through arbitration. Only 13 firings were upheld in that entire time.”

One of my favorite things at Reason is our continued coverage of “Florida’s Worst Cop.” Sgt. German Bosque—arrested 3 times, fired 6 times, reinstated each time—is the perfect example of how police unions make it impossible to fire bad cops, even against the wishes of colleagues. pic.twitter.com/DJPWn5PGEB

The “Teflon Cop” is an enormous financial burden to taxpayers. At one point, he collected $60,000 a year to sit home and do nothing. https://t.co/7RmgWkusT4
— Zuri Davis (@ProperlyZuri) June 6, 2020

He’s gotten in trouble over the last 20 years for “stealing drugs, possessing counterfeit cash, brutalizing suspects and bystanders, lying, insubordination, sexual assault, and various asundry other crimes.” https://t.co/b7vrYFEpnM

He once declared, “I am the law, if I feel like it right now I can fuck you up and no one will say anything about it.”

Sad part? He was correct. https://t.co/TtBrSZNyWX

If you’re a Florida taxpayer, you can thank his police union for wasting your dime. https://t.co/xFNLwmjY4T

Senator Rand Paul totally supportive and beyond:

Saw Rand Paul's presentation which is different than a quick headline. He has pushed 23 criminal justice reform bills more than Booker/ Harris and is for ending qualified immunity /demilitarizing the police force. He was pushing to amend the bill only. Also against war on drugs. pic.twitter.com/dqUDMxuzXD

Amash retweeted this NBC piece as a splainer:

Police immunity highlighted by George Floyd protesters must end, and officers must pay, writes @jay_schweikert.

Our current laws provide impunity for bad cops — and even in the rare cases they're held liable, taxpayers foot the bill.https://t.co/IpAUiQzCnC

as well as tweeting this

Two officers were suspended (merely suspended!) for assaulting and seriously injuring a 75-year-old man, and 57 officers resigned in *solidarity* with them. Disgraceful. There’s a toxic culture inside many police departments. End qualified immunity and clean up these departments! https://t.co/HUOxBHKbSP

Oh, what an interesting “mistake.” https://t.co/nHJErlMb74
