Timmons says he placed a tracker on the police chief’s truck and a surveillance camera on a car wash pointing at city hall where the chief’s office is because the mayor’s signature goes on the chief’s time sheets and he had concerns about them.

“The mayor’s position is not just shaking hands and kissing babies,” Timmons said.

But the mayor says he did not expect officers’ signatures on a bunch of resignation letters and did not expect the entire full-time Milner police department to resign effective Wednesday, Oct. 28.

The mayor wants to and says he’ll be able to keep a police department. In the meantime, the sheriff will patrol.

Milner Police Chief Lamar Bunn says he’s done nothing wrong.

Just want to clarify, they limited qualified immunity in specific situations, they haven’t gotten rid of it completely.

    They both did and did not. If you wanna know the specifics, I suggest you look up the law. I’m not a legal scholar, nor am I qualified to explain it here.

    Not to be a jerk, but

    You are responsible for your own knowledge. Demanding that others teach you? Fuck you.

    So here's the thing. This is a place called "social media". In such a space humans exchange information. Crazy, right? If I wanted to live my online life inside a search engine, I would do so. But I like to talk to and learn from other people. You're not one of those people, but you get my drift.

    That was his nice way of trying to help correct your misconception

    You are wrong. Your understanding of qualified immunity in NYC is wrong. We can't help correct your misconceptions if we don't know more details about your incorrect beliefs

    When we look it up, all we see is qualified inmunity still exists and has not been ended in NYC. We cannot look up why you incorrectly believe it has been

    Someone was trying to correct you in the gentlest way possible, without making you embarrassed about being wrong and you tell them, "fuck you". Look in a mirror buddy

    What an absolutely psychotic response this is.

    Using facts and evidence to prove that you’re wrong… “ psychotic”?

    “Psychotic” is the inability to admit that you’re wrong, even in the face of incontrovertible evidence. Like Trump. But, I’m sure, there is somebody else you can blame for your own mistakes… Lol.

    Maybe you should build a ballroom to feel better about yourself, lol

    What facts exactly do you think you gave there? Cuz I read the link you provided. Nowhere in there does it say that qualified immunity has completely ended in New York City.

    But yeah, you do seem unhinged.

    Actually I'm kind of confused by your response too. First of all you didn't provide evidence of anything because your link is about a plan to vote not one that already passed, so technically you gave zero evidence of anything. But I will assume they passed the vote, just to move forward the conversation. More pertinent maybe the actual article seems to support what the other people in this thread are saying and not what you're saying. So I'm confused why you think what you posted was such Rock Solid evidence:

    To increase accountability, the Council will vote on a bill that will effectively end qualified immunity as a defense for certain civil rights violations.

    So the people saying they only ended it in certain cases seem correct based upon your own evidence. What am I missing here?

    First of all you didn't provide evidence

    When you start with such a blatant and obvious lie, everything else you say can be thrown in the trash

    Did you forget that every comment made beforehand is visible to everyone? Including my comment that contains the evidence you deny exists?

    Wow you didn't address anything I said in my comment. I even quoted your so-called evidence and why it was faulty, but you completely ignored it then called me a liar.

    You know what, no, I agree with the other guy now. You're coming off as psychotic.

    Sifting through your bullshit lies isn’t worth my time. Why would I bother? to jerk off your ego? That’s not my job.

    And giving validity to your false claims, doesn’t serve me either.

    Go lie to and gaslight someone as stupid as you, which I clearly am not.

    I’ve proven you wrong before you even dared to speak. And if you haven’t realized what a stupid mistake you made by even commenting here in the first place, let me make it clear now: the facts proved you wrong before you even spoke, and I will continue to point out what a ridiculous and stupidly wrong ass you are until you simply stop proving that yourself.

    You are a victim of nothing other than your own dogmatic ignorance. I suggest you step away from social media and work on some self improvement. And to aid you in that, I’m gonna block you now, so the only one you have to argue with is yourself. Hopefully, you’ll realize the absurd foolishness of your endeavors, but my hopes for that are not high.

    Best of luck. You’ll need it.
