Timmons says he placed a tracker on the police chief’s truck and a surveillance camera on a car wash pointing at city hall where the chief’s office is because the mayor’s signature goes on the chief’s time sheets and he had concerns about them.

“The mayor’s position is not just shaking hands and kissing babies,” Timmons said.

But the mayor says he did not expect officers’ signatures on a bunch of resignation letters and did not expect the entire full-time Milner police department to resign effective Wednesday, Oct. 28.

The mayor wants to and says he’ll be able to keep a police department. In the meantime, the sheriff will patrol.

Milner Police Chief Lamar Bunn says he’s done nothing wrong.

    Just want to clarify, they limited qualified immunity in specific situations, they haven’t gotten rid of it completely.

      They both did and did not. If you wanna know the specifics, I suggest you look up the law. I’m not a legal scholar, nor am I qualified to explain it here.

          Not to be a jerk, but

          You are responsible for your own knowledge. Demanding that others teach you? Fuck you.

            That was his nice way of trying to help correct your misconception

            You are wrong. Your understanding of qualified immunity in NYC is wrong. We can’t help correct your misconceptions if we don’t know more details about your incorrect beliefs

            When we look it up, all we see is qualified inmunity still exists and has not been ended in NYC. We cannot look up why you incorrectly believe it has been

            Someone was trying to correct you in the gentlest way possible, without making you embarrassed about being wrong and you tell them, “fuck you”. Look in a mirror buddy

                  Using facts and evidence to prove that you’re wrong… “ psychotic”?

                  “Psychotic” is the inability to admit that you’re wrong, even in the face of incontrovertible evidence. Like Trump. But, I’m sure, there is somebody else you can blame for your own mistakes… Lol.

                  Maybe you should build a ballroom to feel better about yourself, lol

                    What facts exactly do you think you gave there? Cuz I read the link you provided. Nowhere in there does it say that qualified immunity has completely ended in New York City.

                    But yeah, you do seem unhinged.

                    Actually I’m kind of confused by your response too. First of all you didn’t provide evidence of anything because your link is about a plan to vote not one that already passed, so technically you gave zero evidence of anything. But I will assume they passed the vote, just to move forward the conversation. More pertinent maybe the actual article seems to support what the other people in this thread are saying and not what you’re saying. So I’m confused why you think what you posted was such Rock Solid evidence:

                    To increase accountability, the Council will vote on a bill that will effectively end qualified immunity as a defense for certain civil rights violations.

                    So the people saying they only ended it in certain cases seem correct based upon your own evidence. What am I missing here?

            So here’s the thing. This is a place called “social media”. In such a space humans exchange information. Crazy, right? If I wanted to live my online life inside a search engine, I would do so. But I like to talk to and learn from other people. You’re not one of those people, but you get my drift.
