    If Biden needs to give a direct order, then most cops won’t have qualified immunity. It will take years before the SCOTUS gets another chance to rule on the matter, meanwhile a ton of lawsuits will be unleashed against abusive cops.

      My mistake, I thought by “qualified immunity” the original comment meant the immunity to any prosecution they just gave to Presidents. I wasn’t thinking about qualified immunity to law enforcement.
