Yet other countries get by just fine without giving law enforcement qualified immunity. See Canada for example.

Canada does not have what they call "Qualified Immunity" but they have large scale immunity under the law already. (https://winnipegpolice.substack.com/p/trust-and-confidence-t...)

"Qualified Immunity" comes from the fact Americans have independent judicial branch and can directly bring law enforcement into that judiciary. In most countries, any action against law enforcement for their official duties is limited to government/department so they have large scale defense anyways.
