    A crime is not needed for a civil suit. A person can be found not guilty of a murder and still lose a civil suit for wrongful death.

        Cops have actual “Qualified Immunity”, which is bullshit on a federal level. It is basically flawless insurance coverage at taxpayer expense. They cannot be sued personally unless it has been established that the EXACT thing they did has already been ruled on as being “bad”.
