Yeah, if the standard here for qualified immunity is that cops had to believe their actions were legal, it definitely shouldn't have applied because nobody would think that unless they were lying. It's REALLY disheartening that all nine justices sided with the officers here. This sort of ruling sucks for everyone, including the officers that have to work with these two in the future. All cops aren't bad, but it sure is awfully hard to hold the bad ones accountable no matter how egregious the offense.

All cops are bad because all cops are willingly part of this system.

This. Any supposed "good" cop is either forcefully converted into a bad cop or thrown out of the force for not falling in line.

It seems to be some weird legal jurisdiction knot that got sorted out and the case has still yet to be resolved.. Overall, King said he was happy with the outcome.
King is happy with the outcome. "The fight continues, and this time on our terms," he says. "I'm looking forward to being back in court. The officers who assaulted me are not above the law and neither is anyone else, simply by virtue of being employed by the government."
