Manchester N.H. Police List Qualified Immunity As Benefit In Recruitment Post

Manchester N.H. Police List Qualified Immunity As Benefit In Now-Deleted Facebook Recruitment Post

Quote:

The Manchester chief of police, Allen Aldenberg, apologized for a recruitment post on Facebook that listed qualified immunity as one of the benefits of joining the department. In a statement also posted to Facebook, Aldenberg called the mention of qualified immunity inappropriate and said he took full responsibility for it. The message, posted Tuesday on the official Manchester Police Facebook page, was deleted after receiving hundreds of comments questioning who the department was looking to attract by listing qualified immunity as a benefit. Qualified immunity is a controversial legal doctrine that is often used to shield police officers who engage in misconduct from liability.

Hey come on up to New Hampshire, where you can get a job as a cop and shoot people and beat the crap out of them with no consequences!
