Can someone in the legal or law enforcement field thoroughly explain in detail what qualified immunity means for law enforcement officers. How does qualified immunity work and for how long. How does a cop lose qualified immunity. Is qualified immunity just for sworn POST certified police officers or does qualified immunity apply to fire fighters and other city, county, or state employees.

I do not know the exact law or statute, but I remember when cops and police departments could not get sued by a public citizen for damages or injuries from a false arrest or due to incompetence. That was more than fifteen years ago or longer. Does anyone have updated laws and statutes whether a taxpayer can sue a police officer or a law enforcement agency?

Lol. Me neither. Brandon is a good friend. He’s an defensive tactics instructor at the Chicago Police Training Academy so you can say he’s pretty anal. Lol.

Here’s Chase and Bruno fetching the ball. Chase is the German Shepherd dog, and Bruno is the little 3-pound fat teacup Yorkie with stumpy legs who thinks he’s a German Shepherd also. Bruno got in trouble for wondering before I got both of them in. 😍😂
Chase and Bruno: The Ultimate Fetch Showdown
In my opinion, nothing is funnier than the old-fetch competitions between Chase, our strikingly beautiful German shepherd, and Bruno, our tiny Yorkie. When I say tiny, I mean he’s three pounds, has stubby legs, and a rotund belly, but swears he’s a German Shepherd too.
Surprisingly enough, even with the massive difference in size, Bruno has this wild imagination where he thinks he is as strong, fast, and powerful as Chase. When it comes to chasing after the ball, he is not passive at all—he is an active participant in the chase.
The Fetch Battle Begins
I am fully convinced that seeing is more eliquent than hearing. Try picturing me, standing right in the middle of the yard with Chase in my sight. I hold his beloved ball, that has become more to him than what it actually is. To Chase it is a fine achievement eating aside from has a couple of bars, what he cherishes over any other ball. Chase is already in my sight, the full 110 pounds of Chase is set like a bowstring (believe me, this comes from experience). Trust me when I say his level of concentration is something else.
In comparison to Chase, Bruno looks positively ludicrous right now. He is a fluffball that weighs 3 pounds with legs so small that when he stands up his stomach is almost kissing the ground. But that does not change the fact that he thinks he is a top-tier athlete. Not even a little. He’s so happy that he looks like a kernel of corn ready to explode, doing tiny bunny hops. He is practically begging Chase to a race he has no chance of winning.
I threw the ball.
Chase Outrageous
Chase’s muscles rip through his fur as he darts ahead. His unmatched determination allows him to leap 10 feet with each stride as if he is some rescue dog getting ready to save a life and needs to get to the ball.
Then there is Bruno.
Even with all the gas he had in his tank, Bruno proved to be equally effective. His little legs started moving as quickly as possible, but he just stayed in one spot.
Chase was already halfway back to me with the ball when Bruno’s speed and momentum kicked in, which took five seconds.
But does he throw in the towel? Not a chance. Bruno is a true warrior.
He runs as fast as his tiny three pound body can go in order to complete the fetch…even if it is already over.
Bruno’s Bold Move
With a look of sheer victory, Chase marches over to me, ball in his mouth. He drops it at my feet, marking the beginning of the next round. However, before I could pick it up, Bruno unexpectedly shows up, five minutes late with heavy pants after completing a fetch of his own.
Bruno does not acknowledge that the game has moved on.
Bruno claims victory over having no clue where he is, saying “I was here first.” With unparalleled boss-like confidence, he walks over to me, mouth agape, fully believing he fetched the ball while I look at him in a state of disbelief.
“Are you serious right now?” Chase thinks to himself.
In that moment, I decided to play the part because as much as he thought “the trick” was well done, on the contrary, the confidence was fantastic. So I assure him saying “good job buddy” patting him lightly on the back and he flies his mini chest as if he just slay a dragon.
Bruno Gets Into Trouble
For some reason, this isn’t funny enough and so Bruno decides to take it a step further. After I finish my marathon fetch reading, I attempt to bring them inside the house. Chase, my German Shepherd, obediently walks into the house like the good dog he is.
What about Bruno?
Bruno has a different plan.
Instead of following us, he seems to wander off and play a game of self-detective with his nose on the ground like a rebellious teenager.
I call him. Nothing.
I try calling him once more. He decides to actively ignore me and pretend to be deaf.
Then I see him in the distance. He is still sniffing and waddling around in circles as the game clearly seems to have ended a long time ago. He believes that he is free and has the independence to stroll around freely like a wild untamed wolf except he is in fact a three pound teacup Yorkie with stumpy legs.
At this point, I march over to him and pick him up like a toddler refusing to leave the playgroun. For a second he gives me the biggest side eye of all time clearly not believing that I had decided to step in in the middle of his monumental expedition.
The Aftermath
Right off the bat, Chase bolts for the door, all poised and proper as usual. At the same time, now we have Bruno, the true champion of our leisurely walk—or at least 1% of it, as he tends to put a little too much drama into everything—and I swear he is gasping for air, just like someone running a marathon.
I have to say, my wife and I share a laugh as Bruno thinks he triumphed today if only for a moment.
What’s the Verdict?
Chase is clearly the triathlete.
Bruno is a triathlete in the making, but not in the real world.
Bruno will find a way to become the troublemaker in the house.
Confidence overrules everything, even if you decide not to fetch the ball.
And in the end, the number one that stands out? He may not be a big dog by any means, but Bruno certainly thinks he is a hundred-pound German shepherd at heart. 💪🐶

Like to welcome my good friend and business associate who I have known since 1998. How I met Willie Germino, is he was a Section 8 inspector and inspected many of my buildings. Willie Germino was a team leader and supervisor of the Chicago division of Section 8. I highly recommend Willie Germino to becoming your home inspector on your home purchase. I have know Willie Germino and his associates since 1998. A home inspection is a crucial step in the homebuying process, providing valuable information that can save buyers from potential financial and safety issues. Here’s why it’s so important:
- Uncovers Hidden Issues: Inspectors find problems not visible to the untrained eye, like structural issues, roof damage, or outdated wiring.
- Safety Assurance: Identifies health hazards like mold, asbestos, lead paint, or faulty electrical systems that could pose risks.
- Cost Assessment: Reveals needed repairs or updates, helping buyers estimate true ownership costs.
- Negotiation Tool: If issues are found, buyers can:
- Request repairs by the seller
- Negotiate a lower price
- Ask for repair credits at closing
- Future Planning: Knowing the condition of major systems (HVAC, roof, etc.) helps plan for replacements.
- Deal Breakers: Some issues might be too costly or troublesome, giving buyers the option to walk away.
- Insurance and Mortgage: Some problems could affect insurability or mortgage approval.
- Peace of Mind: Understanding the home’s condition helps buyers make confident decisions.
- Educates Buyers: Inspectors explain the home’s systems, offering insights into maintenance needs.
- Code Compliance: Ensures the home meets local building codes.
- Pest Detection: Often includes checks for termites, carpenter ants, etc.
- Long-Term Value: Knowing the home’s true condition helps assess its long-term investment potential.
An inspection typically costs $300-$500 but can save thousands by avoiding unexpected repairs or a bad investment. It’s a small price for the comprehensive insight it provides. @Willie Germino
