520    It happens over and over again. The culprit here, 
       alongside the cops, is Qualified Immunity (QI), a legal 
       principle which Reuters describes as "a nearly failsafe 
       tool to let police brutality go unpunished and deny 
       victims their constitutional rights." Originally intended 
       to protect cops from being sued over good faith mistakes, 
       courts have interpreted QI so broadly that police are 
       shielded from accountability in all but the rarest of 
       circumstances. Only when the exact same abusive behavior 
       was already deemed unconstitutional by a court in the 
       exact same jurisdiction can victims succeed in a 
       prosecution. Above the Law recounts 12 cases in which 
       justice was denied because of QI. The stories are 
       accompanied by infographics, timelines, and 
       contextualizing background to create a concise and 
       compelling indictment of an outrageously unjust legal 
       principle that must be changed. --|cAmazon.com
