| 0:00.0 | Well, outta there internet people, it's Bo, again. |
| 0:03.0 | So today we're going to talk a little about qualified immunity |
| 0:06.8 | and how people are responding to the idea of taking it away. |
| 0:12.0 | If you don't know qualified immunity is basically a shield. |
| 0:16.1 | It's what limits the liability of individual officers. So their actions are borne more by the taxpayer, by us, |
