Last week, the Fourth Circuit ruled that a North Carolina police officer who let his dog severely maul a man that he knew to be innocent could not be held accountable for his actions. This is just the latest development in a long chain of them, where the old notion of “qualified immunity” – that public officials can’t be sued for their official actions unless they deliberately broke the law – has been slowly twisted into carte blanche for murder and mayhem.
The result is not a pleasant one.
