The GOP claims to be the party of freedom. If that's true, they should rethink policies that embolden bad police behavior.

Rep. Tom McClintock (R–Calif.) announced he will support the Ending Qualified Immunity Act.

The legal doctrine frequently allows police officers to violate your rights without fear of civil liability.

"No reasonable officer would engage in such recklessness," complains dissenting judge.

The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals' decision is "a precedent-setting error of exceptional public importance," writes dissenting judge.

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals acknowledged that the plaintiff's Eighth Amendment rights were violated.

But the high court may consider other cases that could overturn the outrageous legal doctrine.

"I believe there is sufficient evidence of a clearly established Fourth Amendment violation," writes the dissenting judge.

The ruling once again shows the legal disgrace that is qualified immunity.

"The Constitution says everyone is entitled to equal protection of the law—even at the hands of law enforcement," wrote Judge Carlton W. Reeves.

"I have previously expressed my doubts about our qualified immunity jurisprudence," writes Associate Justice Clarence Thomas in a dissent.
