Hmm what’s the difference between the police department and the mafia
The Police Department and the Mafia are fundamentally different. The Police Department is a government agency tasked with maintaining law and order, while the Mafia is an organized criminal group involved in illegal activities. Law enforcement is subject to legal and public accountability, whereas the Mafia operates outside the law.
So if the mafia had uniforms they would be police?
Uniforms do not make an organization a police force. Police are legal entities subject to laws and regulations, while the Mafia is involved in criminal activities. A uniform does not grant legal authority or immunity.
Then what is qualified immunity
Qualified immunity is a legal doctrine in U.S. federal law which shields government officials from being held personally liable for discretionary actions performed within their official capacity, unless their actions violated "clearly established" federal law or constitutional rights.
How often is qualified immunity revoked in the US
The revocation of qualified immunity varies case by case. There are no specific statistics available for the revocation frequency. It depends on whether the court finds that an official violated clearly established law.
