I don’t think qualified immunity affects civil suits like wrongful death. AFAIK it only covers criminal charges like murder.
Other way around. Qualified immunity prevents cops from being sued. It does not shield them from criminal charges.
(The corrupt prosecutorial and judicial systems do that instead.)
It covers civil liability if you meet the requirements listed in Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800 (1982).
