>we have to hold them to realistic standards.

Yes, absolutely. That's what needs to start happening with regard to police. You've understood perfectly.

Do you think that police are held to lower or higher standards than medical professionals?

How long does a cop go to school for? Do medical professionals have qualified immunity?

[daenz]

Doctors acting on behalf of the state, like prison doctors, do in fact have qualified immunity. The profession is not the pre-requisite, it's being employed by the state. So it's not as simple as the implication that only police have it.
