I always have a problem with this comment. The Supreme Court is there to follow the law, NOT INVENT LAW. The US Congress (Senate and Congress) enact laws and the Supreme Court enforces. Where you get into a problem is when they start dictating their Feelings into the law. The issue is with "qualified immunity" which needs to be replaced. When the American's can get it through their heads that this is bad then Congress can eliminate it. If the cops are breaking laws in doing their duty they deserve to go to jail - period.
