Police groups are concerned that making it easier to sue police officers for damages would cause them to pull back in their jobs, which could impact communities and public safety in the long run.
“To take away qualified immunity from people that really go out there and really take their oath seriously, it’s going to make police officers not want to do a goddamn thing,” Joseph Imperatrice, the founder of Blue Lives Matter NYC, told The Epoch Times. Blue Lives Matter NYC is an organization working to support police officers and their families.
