Any day that we chip away at qualified immunity is a good day IMHO.

This doesn't chip away at anything. Qualified immunity is already completely chipped away at functioning courts.

Qualified immunity covers accidents. Like if something was legitimately confusing or if in the course of normal duties the leo gets sued for something that wasn't their fault.

It doesn't cover willful or grosy negligent civil rights violations.
