Let’s be clear: The Memphis Five should be awaiting trial for murder. The lynching was indefensible, no matter who committed it. However, most attempts to convict police officers of murder charges don’t go far — because of a legal doctrine called “qualified immunity.” “” means that police officers get away with behavior that would be criminal for a civilian; courts allow such charges only when they fit a narrow scenario in which the officers violate the victim’s constitutional rights.
