"They should be immune from the case" is no justification at all! I hope those defendants keep the heat on their officials and their outrageous abuse. You may have heard about police in Seattle WA and federal investigations necessitated by ongoing local police violence which has resulted in an unusually high number of citizens deaths. And more recently, an officer charged for multiple "road trips", transporting marijuana, which is legal for both medical and recreational use in our state, to supply illegal distribution out of state- for his own financial benefit. The police need to be policed, perhaps more than the public.
