Summary
Ben & Jerry make a repeat appearance with SNT on #HelloSomebody! This time, these two social activists educate us about Qualified Immunity, which is essentially a “Get Out of Jail Free” card for bad cops. Ben has written a book all about it and these two get us fired up to get involved to make change and make law enforcement accountable.
