The Florida Libertarian Party wants to end qualified immunity in light of former deputy Scot Peterson's acquittal. Peterson failed to stop a 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida but was found not guilty of felony child neglect Thursday.
Peterson failed to stop a 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida but was found not guilty of felony child neglect Thursday. On the same day Peterson's verdict was read, the Libertarian Party added a new platform to its agenda: End the"excessive protection to law enforcement" known as qualified immunity."The LPF stands firmly behind the principle that no one, including law enforcement, should be above the law," the party wrote in a press release.
After the shooting, Peterson retired after 32 years as a deputy. As a result of his acquittal, he will be allowed to collect his $104,000 annual pension. The LPF called the outcome"unjust."Peterson's trial was the first that attempted to prosecute a law enforcement officer over a mass school shooting.
New Mexico, Colorado, Connecticut, and New York City have either ended qualified immunity altogether or limited its application in court cases.
