    Cops who break the law should lose qualified community and have harsher penalties. Arrest these cops for assault, fabricating police reports, and making false witness statements.

      Qualified Immunity already doesn’t protect police from breaking the law. Police don’t get in trouble for breaking the law because their buddies protect them, not because of Qualified Immunity. That’s to protect officers from being sued for rights violations. As in, they can violate your rights to privacy, free speech, freedom of association, etc, and not get in trouble for it. You have to sue the city/state instead.
