Antonin Scalia - Flag Burning Is Free Speech
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia from a 2012 interview with CNN. Flag burning is a form of free expression guaranteed by the United States Constitution.
The following information is provided by the U.S. Government and Juridical System as court documents records show and the laws, statues that govern them, including updates and revisions.
In other words : These ain’t “MY FACTS”. They are collectively “OURS”.
Not liking the information nor the source of the information, doesn’t change the legislation nor laws as the FACTS the are.

Supreme Court Again Clarifies Qualified Immunity Protection for Peace Officers
In the recent City of Tahlequah v. Bond decision, the United States Supreme Court revisited the protections officers should receive through qualified immunity (City of Tahlequah v. Bond, 2021 U.S. Lexis 5310 [2021]).
Qualified immunity provides
immunity from certain lawsuits raised against government officials acting in their official capacity. It is important to note that qualified immunity not only protects peace officers but any federal, state or local public official.
The Supreme Court has evaluated the protections afforded to government officials under qualified immunity many times before and has held that “The central purpose of affording public officials qualified immunity is to protect them ‘from undue interference with their duties and from potentially disabling threats of liability’” (Elder v. Holloway [1994] 510 U.S. 510).
The Supreme Court has also stated that “This accommodation for reasonable error exists because officials should not err always on the side of caution because they fear being sued” (Hunter v. Bryant [1991] 502 U.S. 224). For peace officers, this means that enforcement of the law is prioritized over the recovery of money damages in a lawsuit.

Supreme Court Reaffirms Unwillingness to Reconsider Qualified Immunity
To understand the significance of these otherwise mundane decisions, it’s important to start with last term’s decision in Taylor v. Riojas. This per curiam opinion summarily reversed the Fifth Circuit’s grant of immunity to corrections officers who had kept a man in inhumane prison conditions, and it marked the first time in sixteen years that the Court held that official conduct violated “clearly established law.”
As I discussed in detail here, this was a noteworthy development, as it reaffirmed the basic principle from Hope v. Pelzer — long thought to be effectively inoperative as binding precedent — that at least some sufficiently obvious constitutional violations do not require cases exactly on point to hold that the law was clearly established.

1.) Study: The 'War On Cops' Is Pure Bullshit
Studies from the it-keeps-the-money-rolling-in-though dept
Fri, Apr 26th 2019 10:44am - Tim Cushing
The “War on Cops” is a belief system that’s currently being preached to the converted. Evidence abounds that it’s safer to be a cop now than it’s ever been, and yet, officers still claim they’re being targeted and use these unfounded fears to obtain military equipment and qualified immunity rulings.
“The number of line-of-duty deaths has declined dramatically over the last five decades. Policing is a much safer profession now than it was 50 years ago. Despite a 75% drop in deaths, however, there has been remarkable stability in geographic-, temporal-, and incident-level characteristics. Also, several notable changes over time reflect favorably on improved safety in policing, such as declines in deaths resulting from aircraft crashes and accidental gunfire. Other trends are troubling, though, such as the stability in deaths during auto pursuits and a two-fold increase in deaths from vehicular assaults. Currently, the “war on cops” thesis is not supported by any evidence, and we apply the 50-year lens in this study to provide important context for understanding recent trends in officer deaths.”

2.) FBI Data Reveal ‘War on Cops’ is Nonexistent
Loaded on JULY 21, 2018 by Dale Chappell published in Criminal Legal News August, 2018, page 35

“Where is the “war on cops” claimed by the country’s leaders? According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s annual report on law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty across the country, 93 cops died in the line of duty in 2017, and 118 were killed in 2016.
However, more than half were killed in accidents, and half of those were not wearing seatbelts. The data were compiled from local, state, federal, tribal, and campus police agencies.
Being a cop is not even in the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the United States. While some officers unfortunately die while on duty, the data clearly show that there is no “war on cops” as some falsely claim. In fact, being a federal law enforcement officer was one of the safest jobs in the country the past two years: None were killed in the line of duty in 2017, and only one was killed in 2016.
Yet, Congress still wants to make the killing of a cop a “hate crime.” The facts do not support this push. More cops were killed in previous years than the last two years. Clearly, line of duty deaths for cops are on the decline despite the rhetoric. The “war on cops” story is nothing more than a myth.
