Is that a standard "benefit" for all cop departments in the US of A?
IMMUNITY?
Well builders always put in a "HOLD HARMLESS" clause in all contracts so they don't get sued if they screw up and people die or get maimed for life.
Why should ANYONE LEGALLY AUTHORIZED TO KILL HUMAN BEINGS HAVE ADVANCE IMMUNITY? They are not diplomats for foreign countries.
You support that? It's a benefit for have a job that could get a maniac imprisoned for going off half-cocked and say murdering people in front of other people and not giving a sh** because they KNOW they are safe and protected?
What a country!
