🎥🚔⚖️Unbelievable police qualified immunity cases (part 3).
⚖️San Diego civil rights lawyer Tim Scott describes a case out of Texas, where a man with admitted mental health issues was placed in a cell alone (but, with a 30-foot telephone cord inside).
💔⚖️🚔Tragically, when the man unalived himself, the lawsuit filed by his mother was thrown out on qualified immunity. Had he used bedding to unalive himself, it might have turned out differently. But, because there hadn’t been an exact precedent involving an unaliving in a jail cell using a telephone cord, it fell under qualified immunity.
❓⚖️Is that justice? Of course not.
