the institute for justice has been trying for almost 10 years to get a new qualified immunity case in front of the Supreme Court to show them how the Supreme Court ocming up with this completely made-up idiotic legal precedent that they expanded way too much in Harlow v. Fitzgerald. That North Texas family was one of the ones the ISJ really thought would be heard.
especially since there was absolutely nothing correct about the home invasion by the swat team. it was the wrong house, wrong street, wrong address, wrong home type, with a huge obvious difference between the target house and the family home they invaded- that being a fucking wheelchair ramp in the family house and not one being in the house being raided. you know thats not something you can fucking miss going to the front door- even at night.
and what caused that family to sue, is even though the swat team admitted they fucked up, and told the family the damages would be paid by the city, the fucking city hid behind the qualfiied immunity stature to not have to pay the damage done to the home by their incompetent swat team members.
