Note that it doesn't stop at qualified immunity: it aims to strip sovereign immunity as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_immunity_in_the_United_States

Wrongful convictions rob innocent people of decades of their lives, waste tax dollars, and retraumatize the victim’s family, while the people responsible remain unaccountable.

Massey’s death has spurred protests, and calls from her family that Campbell resign for hiring Grayson in the first place, given that records show Grayson had been citing for driving under the influence and that he had received critical reviews while working at five other law enforcement agencies in a three-year span
After unlawfully detaining, arresting, and injuring Mr. Abdul-Hafeez, the Officers, and each of them, collaborated to write a false police report which falsely and fraudulently described Mr. Abdul-Hafeez’s actions and the basis for his detention, arrest, and future prosecution. Subsequent to his unlawful arrest, and as a result of the Officers’ advancement of their false and fabricated narrative, Mr. Abdul-Hafeez was detained for hours and was given a citation in hopes that he would be prosecuted for one misdemeanor count of California Penal Code section 148(a)(1). No formal charges were levied against Mr. Abdul-Hafeez.

“They allow the police to kill people,” McKesson said. “Imagine if you had a job where no matter what you did, it was impossible to be held accountable.”
Findley said. "You call 911, and it's almost like Russian roulette. Depending on who you get, it could be the end of your life.”
Seven states now have adopted Campaign Zero’s recommended restrictions on the use of no-knock raids, the practice that allowed police to enter Taylor’s home.
This highlights a fairly common practice in law enforcement as officers fired for misconduct are often hired by police departments in different cities and counties who overlook their previous history.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, someone at the scene reported Massey’s death as a suicide. According to police radio traffic obtained by Justin Glawe of America Doom, you can hear someone saying that Massey’s death was “self-inflicted”.

mosherLet's join with President Biden and VP Harris in calling for the passing of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Maybe our Republican representatives will see that Qualified Immunity can be used against Christians and finally do the right thing on police violence.

Massey—a 36-year-old mother of two—mumbles something to Grayson, who responds: "Why would we hurt you? You called us."
Officials release video of officer fatally shooting Sonya Massey in her home after she called 911
Bodycam video of the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey was released Monday afternoon. The video shows the chaotic scene after a sheriff's deputy shot Massey, who is Black, in the face during a tense moment over a pot of water in her home.
Local police bureaucracies and carceral tech companies were also unable to procure the public money to fulfill their dream of integrating vast amounts of government surveillance data into expensive new cloud-based computing databases that would connect reservoirs of police data to facial and voice recognition software, license plate trackers, and proprietary behavior prediction algorithms.
After Officer Darren Wilson killed Michael Brown, these actors were savvy: they used a moment of public outrage and the many calls for change to get self-professed “progressives” in local and national government and well-meaning people in the general public to support one of the most lucrative expansions of surveillance technology in modern history.
How did they do it? As I show in this article, they portrayed Orwellian government surveillance infrastructure as a “reform” for police violence at a moment of extreme uncertainty over what had exactly happened to Brown.
