The Campaign to End Qualified Immunity

Our mission is to end the qualified immunity doctrine so that cops accused of violence can stand trial, face prosecution & be held liable for their actions.

Companies like Uber Eats have begun using robots to drop off food orders. But these robots are delivering more than just dinner: some of their footage has been handed over to the LAPD, raising surveillance concerns. @jason_koebler @404mediaco https://t.co/CBw07PLbd1

Today, Botham Jean would have turned 32. Instead, he was shot and killed by an off-duty police officer who wrongfully entered his home 5 yrs ago. Botham’s birthday is a reminder of his senseless death. Today, we remember his life and send love to his family! Rest In Power 🙏🏾

A scathing report by a UN human rights task force calls out systemic racism in US law enforcement. The report reveals that Black Americans are three times more likely to be killed by police than their white counterparts. @UN_News_Centre https://t.co/CBoyDcl3UB

In 2014, MS sheriff Bryan Bailey brazenly abused his authority to spy on his married girlfriend. Instead of holding Bailey accountable, local officials, including a future congressman, looked the other way. @JMitchellNews @IlyssaDaly @nytimes https://t.co/C3hOpGhoGV

The wrongful death trial for #TonyTimpa, the Dallas man killed by police 2016, ended this week. Although the jury agreed the cops violated Timpa’s rights, they still granted 2 of them #QualifiedImmunity & vindicated the 3rd. @billybinion @reason https://t.co/3Y1Ozi4r5u

Paterson, NJ’s police dept. will be the first in the tristate area to use AI to analyze bodycam footage. The tech will help identify “critical events such as uses of force…so supervisors can then review officers’ conduct.” @michebocanegra @Gothamist https://t.co/5r6TOCbPl6

In 2020, #ManuelEllis, a 33-y/o unarmed Black man from Tacoma, WA, died in police custody, sparking public demand for justice and accountability. Three years later, the cops charged w/ his death are finally facing trial. @scottdetrow @mayowaaina_ @NPR https://t.co/K8Ep9O4ynl

In 2021, the NYPD launched an online portal allowing public access to police misconduct records. However, legal experts have noticed that the site doesn’t provide crucial information on cops named in dozens of lawsuits. @akela_lacy @theintercept https://t.co/ebNZForloc

Most SA complaints go unreported, & the ones that do often end w/ no conviction. & in the hands of twisted cops, the victim becomes the suspect, revealing how “Rape denialism runs alarmingly deep in the law enforcement community.” @raeoflion @reveal https://t.co/casq8GNvXo

Paramedic Brad Cox, who kicked a man with mental illness several times while on the job, has now been allowed back at his dept. During a hearing, the judge ruled that termination wasn’t the right punishment. @OfficialJacobV @Dallas_Observer https://t.co/qqKeitCaTU

Municipalities across the country are paying out millions of dollars in settlements for police misconduct. These settlements haven’t deterred police misconduct and are being paid with taxpayer dollars. @KerryBreen826 @CBSNews

Thanks to public pressure, the cops & paramedics responsible for #ElijiahMcClain’s 2019 death will finally face trial this fall. McClain’s tragic demise exposed the deep rifts between the community & law enforcement in Aurora, CO. @abscribe @nytimes https://t.co/lbY7IlLR0m

A NYCLU analysis reveals that, ever since Mayor Eric Adams took office, the NYPD has made over 1m traffic stops demonstrating “stark racial disparities”: nearly 90% of those arrested were Black or Latino. @BaharOstadan @gothamist https://t.co/YEBatoYmBS

An OH dad turned to the police after he discovered that an online predator had manipulated his 11-y/o daughter into sending him explicit photos. Instead of offering protection, the cops blamed the exploited child. @ClaudiaLauer @samanthajhendr @AP https://t.co/ZxtaolE2Di

In 2021, Karin Riebe was killed by her son hours after she called 911, concerned about his disturbed state. Riebe’s siblings have filed a lawsuit, saying the cops who showed up & did nothing could’ve prevented this tragedy. @calex_law @MSNBC https://t.co/fTwtF3RPG2

In 2019, #ElijahMcClain died in police custody. The 23-yo was on the ground, handcuffed, pleading for help, but the officers ignored him. On Wed., the trial of the cops charged with McClain’s death officially began. @deonihampton @csiemaszko @NBCNews https://t.co/6mp2W5eqTh
