The United States Supreme Court has decided that state control of citizens is far more important than the lives lost to police violence. So as police act with impunity toward the American people, the court gives the police more and more power to act outside the Constitution.
Qualified immunity is a doctrine created by the United States Supreme Court that protects police from accountability even when they commit murder.
What is important to understand is that the US Supreme Court is not a part of the Legislative Branch of Government. The Supreme Court is the highest in the Judicial branch of the three-tiered system of Government, which consists of the Judicial, Legislative, and Executive.
By creating its own doctrine, the court has circumvented the Legislative branch of the US Government that has sole authority to make laws.
