i think we should give them immunity if only they were endangered or civilians around them are.

 @8ZGR76X from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

I agree with only for officers that have clean record and no complaints but also give more training and education to police officers.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...4yrs4Y

Yes, but only for officers that have a clean record of no complaints

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...4yrs4Y

No, and increase the personal liability for misconduct

 @8PYMW62answered…4yrs4Y

Police make decisions in split seconds. While trying to save a life they must also save themselves. They need more training and at higher levels much like our military. Except in extreme situations where an officer is abusive to power, they should not be responsible for a split second decision. Just as doctors are not responsible for common mistakes in malpractice.

 @928JWTG from Wisconsin  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but monitor the behavior of the cops, if excessive violence is used against a criminal who has surrendered

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

No, but still hold superiors accountable for the misconduct of those under their authority.

 @9334YP3answered…3yrs3Y

No, nor for any other officials. Excepting the sheriff's department, all police departments should be abolished and replaced by civil militias.

 @92YT8JT from New York  answered…3yrs3Y

Only in minimal misconduct circumstances, not in cases that effect a person's health

 @3DSBJC3answered…3yrs3Y

Yes and provide more training and education for police officers and but only for officers that have a clean record of no complaints

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only for officers that have a clean record of no complaints No

Yes, but only for officers that have a clean record. Also, increase training and education for police officers, so they know which conduct is illegal.

 @MSmashville from Maryland  answered…3yrs3Y

No, and severely increase personal liability for gross misconduct. Police should be held at much higher standards than the general public.

 @48P66TDanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, with an emphasis on qualified. Qualified immunity should not be blanket immunity to personal liability.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

If someone in a position of trust makes a mistake, should their intention or the outcome of their actions weigh more heavily in deciding their consequences?

 @vacheeseheadanswered…3yrs3Y

No, piloce officers should be held accountable just as every other citizen

 @8WG92P3 from Idaho  answered…3yrs3Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Can you think of a time when not knowing the rules led to unexpected outcomes, and should ignorance excuse the behavior?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

How would you feel if someone wasn't held accountable for their actions because they didn't know they were wrong?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

If a friend made a serious mistake out of ignorance, do you think they should face consequences?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Imagine you were harmed by someone who claimed they didn't know it would hurt you; how would that make you feel about fairness and justice?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

In a situation where rules are unclear, should people be given the benefit of the doubt, or should they be encouraged to seek clarity before acting?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Should there be a universal standard for accountability, or is it fair for different roles in society to have different levels of responsibility?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

How does the idea that some people might not be held accountable for their actions because of their job impact your sense of security?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Do you believe that being unaware of the harm your actions could cause is a valid defense, or should people be more proactive in understanding the impact of their actions?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Reflecting on the balance between job effectiveness and ethical behavior, where should the line be drawn when mistakes happen?

 @8RBQDDP from Vermont  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, as long as the practice is not abused and that officers who abuse their powers are held accountable for their actions

 @92YHQCV from California  answered…3yrs3Y

No, but provide more training and education for police officers, and increase the personal liability for misconduct

 @92YHQCV from California  answered…3yrs3Y

No, and increase the personal liability for misconduct & provide more training and education for police officers

 @8WKT3PP from Colorado  answered…3yrs3Y

No, provide more training, education, and personal liability for misconduct. Prevent the issue before it happens, not the other way around

 @8XNRYWL from California  answered…3yrs3Y

 @3YNTGFHanswered…4yrs4Y

Strong protections of officers do need to be in place but ongoing training, frequent performance/conduct/psychological reviews should also be utilized as proactive measures.

 @7J7L92W from California  answered…3yrs3Y

 @89CDM9C from Kansas  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as all officers receive mandatory therapy and regular psych evaluations.

  @8F8D9G3 from Colorado  answered…3yrs3Y

No, police officers who engage in misconduct should not receive immunity for thier actions; otherwise, police officers who are properly performing their duties should definitely receive qualified immunity.

 @8M258QP from Indiana  answered…3yrs3Y

No - Police officers should be held to the same standard as typical citizens. They should receive more training to conduct themselves appropriately.

 @8MF2HYV from Maine  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, only for actions that are not lethal or violent acts AND only involving officers with no prior history of complaints and offenses. In addition, provide more training and education AND increase personal liability for misconduct.

 @8P9CLBG from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

Officers should be held to a higher standard than the people on to enforce the law safely.

 @8PXJBZS from Georgia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only with clear definition and agreement of what "clearly defined law" means.

 @8PXJBZS from Georgia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes - but only with clear definition and agreement of what "clearly defined law" means.

 @8RJ9QC2 from Nebraska  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8RTZ4PJ from Missouri  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but teach them how to handle situations that would lead to illegal conduct.

  @8RTRNSW from Arizona  answered…4yrs4Y

No; if an officer engages in illegal misconduct regarding their work, then this shows a failure to do their job efficiently. They should be held accountable then educated on the issue.

 @lucasnat0r from Illinois  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but only if the officer can prove ignorance instead of simply playing dumb.

 @8WD3SF7 from North Carolina  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only for officers that have a clean record of no complaints, and provide more training and education for police officers.

 @8WP7GRX from Ohio  answered…3yrs3Y

cops can easily pull the "i didnt know it was a brush" card and get away with it easy. unless that person has a weapon or something illegal on they should get in trouble for assuming and not being patient or more aware.

 @8XTW3QC from Washington D.C.  answered…3yrs3Y

Only in cases of minor misconduct not for serious cases such as murder or wrongful death, corruption, etc.

 @8ZMLD8W from New York  answered…3yrs3Y

should not be immune. We need to provide better training and education to ensure that they won't do things that could cause them to get sued for misconduct
