Well, let me tell you something about this, that you can't enact any reforms or really have a conversation about doing anything unless you come to the table honestly. This is going to shock you if you haven't heard this before. Ron Kind had a conference call with our 18 sheriffs... and he said that he would never vote for a bill that removed qualified immunity from police officers. because he was a prosecutor and he knows what that means. If you remove qualified immunity from police officers, you are essentially defunding the police. And I'll give you an example. (08:51–09:08)
