Qualified immunity protects government employees from being sued in an individual capacity, it does not protect the government itself from being sued. The whole point of QA is to make individuals sue the government body that wronged them rather than the specific employees.
When the government doesn't want to be sued, it invokes sovereign immunity.
This is by the way why the government is inherently corrupt. Because tyrants don't have to pay for the crimes they commit, and public sector employees are protected by unions from being fired and blacklisted.
Well hopefully info will come out showing how overblown this was. I’m almost certain they coordinated with media to play it up as well. Like when Ashley Babbit died they called her a trained killer since she was Air Force. Most of us in my family were in the Air Force and we were laughing at how idiotic the media was. Plus I think this is the only time an unarmed person was shot that the media approved
It would take a lot because government officials have qualified immunity.
