    This is why you always want to get law enforcement credentials before doing fascist errands. Law enforcement gets qualified immunity; civilian contractors are patsies.

        The effective immunity they de facto enjoy is MUCH more complete, though.

        For every cop shooting where the cop suffers so much as an unpaid suspension, there’s dozens if not hundreds that get off scot free after committing all crimes up to and including serial murder.

        Oh, law enforcement ends up being above the law in many cases. For example, tinting on windshields in California. Cops get 100%, everyone else has to follow certain % rules so cops can feel safe during traffic stops. This is just a minor example.
