Assignment:
In your assigned reading, you see the author ask the question, "should Congress abolish qualified immunity for police officers?" The issue in this question is qualified immunity, and there are two perspectives on this issue presented.
The specific section I am referring to can be seen in the attachment called: Pro Con Qualified Immunity.pdf
For your discussion board assignment, please address one of the following topics from your reading:
- Should local governments reduce police funding?
- Would bans on aggressive police tactics reduce the use of deadly force?
- Should Congress make it easier for police officers to be held accountable in court?
Present both sides of the question you choose. The reader should not be able to tell how you personally feel from reading the response.
Instead, the reader should see an unbiased look at both sides of the chosen issue.
Please use your assigned reading and at least two outside, additional resources. Your resources must be cited using APA standards.
Your response should be no less than 500 words. Please make sure that your grammar, punctuation, and spelling reflect a college-level submission.
