15		-However, if qualified immunity were to be removed or changed by legislative action, then law enforcement officers could potentially be more accountable for their actions. Law enforcement officers would have to seek the path of least confrontation as their primary method of de-escalating situations. No one can argue that police officers have a difficult job, can find themselves in challenging situations, and take on risks in their careers on a daily basis that the average citizen does not. However, there can be little doubt that those who watch us must be watched themselves in a meaningful way. However, protests – while cathartic – are not enough. Minor policy shifts and the presence of more cameras are not enough. If the public wishes to see meaningful change in a nation of laws, it must be to change the laws that govern the nation. If this fight were won by the number of protestors in the street, then by all accounts, the activists are winning. But it isn’t. This fight against excessive force by police is in the halls of state capitols across this country and in Congress. And in that fight, the activists are losing, badly. Regardless of the outcome of these recent developments, we will continue to watch the watchers, even if what we can do is severely limited by law.
