"In other words, state prosecutors can intentionally break the law, harming innocents along the way, and get off without being held accountable. "
Cops and all politicians enjoy qualified immunity.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opin...mmunity-supreme-court-column/5283349002/"The Supreme Court created qualified immunity in 1982. With that novel invention, the court granted all government officials immunity for violating constitutional and civil rights unless the victims of those violations can show that the rights were “clearly established.”
A virtually unlimited protection
Although innocuous sounding, the clearly established test is a legal obstacle nearly impossible to overcome. It requires a victim to identify an earlier decision by the Supreme Court, or a federal appeals court in the same jurisdiction holding that precisely the same conduct under the same circumstances is illegal or unconstitutional. If none exists, the official is immune. "
Prosecution of high level government officials is highly unlikely. Former presidents are essentially untouchable. Conspirators in the coup will simply state that they were following orders.
