And that is the point. The police department is trying to claim they are not responsible. Where as if you or me did something like this, our company could be sued because they are not protected by qualified immunity.

FTA: "Christmas is appealing the judge’s decision. She would like to see qualified immunity changed to all associated parties being responsible when an officer is convicted. She can sue Pierson individually, but she said he has no money or job since he is in prison."

Which is a loophole keeping her from being compensated. If he wasn't in prison and he was still a cop, she couldn't get any money either because he would be protected.
