Hopefully all the cunt police officers who use brutality and violate citizens constitutional right will be personally prosecuted for their crimes if they were to lose the Qualified Immunity.

The Supreme Court might be finding its way to overturning 'qualified immunity'

This month, the United States Supreme Court issued a remarkable opinion that could pave the way to repealing qualified immunity. That doctrine — which shields government workers from accountability when they violate the constitution — relies on the policy that government workers should rarely be subject to lawsuits for money damages. But in Tanzin v. Tanvir, a unanimous Supreme Court said that it is not its business to do policy. In addition, it held that damages are not only an appropriate remedy against government workers who violate the Constitution, but that “this exact remedy has coexisted with our constitutional system since the dawn of the Republic.”

The case involves a group of Muslim men who, following the dictates of their faith, refused to cooperate with the FBI and spy on their communities. In retaliation, FBI agents placed the men on the No Fly List, robbing them of the ability to travel to see family or for work. Muhammad Tanvir, for example, lost his job as a long-haul trucker because it required him to fly cross-country after finishing deliveries.

That's gorgeous. I wish there was no COVID and I was over there...

I would have been on the line by now and the kids would have been attending a yank school.

This is such bullshit. If this goes through, I will never tip again in the USA and I will let the server know before I order my food. It is about time restaurants raised their menu prices to the real cost what it needs to run a restaurant and give ALL their employees a living wage.

A new rule published by the Department of Labor on Tuesday would allow restaurant owners to take employees' tips to pay "back-of-the-house" workers, such as cooks and dishwashers.

An analysis by the Economic Policy Institute found that change could cost workers more than $700 million in lost wages.

The regulation also allows employers to required tipped employees to perform more "non-tipped" labor, such as cleaning.

"It's really, really clear this is about the interests of corporate executives and shareholders," Heidi Shierholz, an economist at EPI, told Business Insider.

A new regulation rolled out in the final days of the Trump administration will allow restaurants to pull tips from their waitstaff to pay cooks in the back, putting more cash in the pockets of ownership while forcing front-of-the-house staff to do more work for less money.
