New York City Ends Qualified Immunity For Police Officers, Becoming 1st In Nation To Do So

By CBS, March 26, 2021:

NEW YORK— The New York City Council voted Thursday to end qualified immunity for police officers.

The decades-old protection has prevented officers from being sued or liable for misconduct. New York is now the first city in the country to end qualified. The measure was passed as part of a package of police reform bills.

The @NYCCouncil just voted to end qualified immunity for police officers, making NYC the first city in the country to do so.

Qualified immunity was established in 1967 in Mississippi to prevent Freedom Riders from holding public officials liable even when they broke the law. 1/

Critics argued scrapping the protection will make officers less aggressive in fighting crime, if they have to worry about lawsuits.

City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, however, said it “has been used to deny justice to victims of police abuse for decades.”

“Rooted in our nation’s history of systemic racism, qualified immunity denied Freedom Riders justice and has been used to deny justice to victims of police abuse for decades,” he tweeted after the vote. “It should never have been allowed, but I’m proud that we took action today to end it here in NYC.”
