Reply to comment by LostSoulNothing in New York Pays $121 Million for Police Misconduct, the Most in 5 Years by hau5keeping
Chiming in late to correct you a little here: QI actually means that you can’t sue a cop unless you can show they violated a clearly established law.
In practice, that means you have to find an identical (and I really do mean identical) case where the court decided the cops violated someone’s constitutional rights so you can show the court in your case, “see, the cops should have known stealing my rare coin collection while serving an unrelated search warrant was unconstitutional*.”
*a real case that really happened. The cops were granted QI bc apparently it wasn’t clearly established that literal theft is unconstitutional.

Belonging to a hate group isn’t a political affiliation and therefore not a protected class. No one has a constitutional right to be a nazi and work a government job. You can be forced to pick one or the other.

If you have 1300 god cops and 12 Proud Boy cops, and the good cops don’t turn in the Proud Boy cops
Then you have 1312 bad cops

If you define “doing crimes” as hustling then sure
