    87: Qualified Immunity Is (Still) A Nightmare

    10/09/2026 | 38 mins.
    (WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) This is our sixth **Reb's Round-Up** episode (QUALIFIED IMMUNITY EDITION)—A rapid-fire list of cases from *just the first half of 2026* that will once again open your eyes to how little we hold police officers accountable on a regular basis.
    Reb also gives you *4 bonus cases* to keep you up at night, including:
    Man who wrote a book about robbing a bank with a banana (and then robs a bank with a banana);
    A judge who handcuffed a child for falling asleep in court;
    Yet another cop who can't stop having extramarital affairs on the job;
    And more....
    Enjoy!
