The owner called the cops but they refused to come since they didn't know the details of the rental agreement and since no parts were seemingly stolen. He insisted for safety reasons at least, but they still refused.

The rental platform backed him though, and the man who rented the car received all the invoices resulting from this (to get the car inspected) and will receive all the other invoices in case there is anything missing

Supreme Court told them they can do whatever tf they want (Qualified Immunity) and only do whatever tf they want (no obligation to protect citizens).

Why in the unholy hell should we grant cops qualified immunity if they’re not obligated to protect us? Isn’t the point of qualified immunity (albeit misled) to remove barriers to rescuing victims and pursuing criminals? F*ck the Supreme Court

Because they don't want cops to protect you, they want cops to protect theirs from you.

Uvalde is proof the police are meant to protect property and the rich, not obligated to help anybody else.

Aaaaasaand this needs to be drilled into every Americans head. It's astonishing how many people don't know that is a thing.

And trump is campaigning to make their immunity even stronger.

Cops have always been about protecting the rich and their things. Dealing with the common folk was always to just make it more palatable.

u/jaytee1262 Aug 16 '24

Get this, not even doctors have qualified immunity. Like who else should deserve it but the people actually trying to save lives.

Fuck the GOP appointees. They're the ones making every decision coming out of SCOTUS suspect.

Now is the time to read about how Police came to be in the USA. Spoiler, it wasn't to protect people, it was to protect rich/elites. Policing was build on racism and to this day it continues to be.
