Cato Weekly Podcast • April 27, 2021 

# *Above the Law: How ‘Qualified Immunity’ Protects Violent Police*

Qualified immunity is an insult to Americans whose rights have been violated by public officials. Ben Cohen tells some of those stories in [*Above the Law: How ‘Qualified Immunity’ Protects Violent Police*](https://www.amazon.com/Above-Law-Qualified-Immunity-Protects/dp/1682192571). We were joined by Cato’s Jay Schweikert and Clark Neily.
