Trump says he'll indemnify “policemen, precincts, cities, and states” from any police brutality lawsuits

I’d argue he’s setting the stage for einsatzgruppen, like the infamous Reserve Police Battalion 101.

Oh he knows, this phase is part of the "owning the libs" macro strategy.

The more black people killed the better his polling percentage is.

"are you suggesting our brave police are dumb?"

Then quickly pivot to "classic coastal academic elite, assuming everyone needs more education to work an honest job they already hold."

When they're about to blow hit em with "education? More like indoctrination "

They shot John, Bobby, Martin, and Malcolm. They probably would have shot Bernie too if he won the primary.

First past the post voting systems make sure there are only two parties and two candidates. A third party doesn't stand a chance.

Of course neither party wants to change things because it works for them.

It's the voting system

In a word: corruption.

Also: Bo Burnham is equally baffled and wrote a short banger about it

I'm sure a lot of potential cases would actually be filed in state courts where he would not have much power over, at least directly.

As far as civil vs. criminal, ianal, but

Under traditional English common laws, a doctrine called sovereign immunity prevented citizens from suing the king. Sovereign immunity was incorporated into American law as well, imposing limits on lawsuits against government agencies or employees. source: Forbes.com

So basically, the government has to grant you permission to sue it. If a president decrees that the government is immune in a civil case, there is little legal recourse. (Reminder: ianal, I want everyone to know ianal.)

But the big picture: regardless of whether efforts to interfere could be successful, this announcement will increase police brutality.
