hard same over the past 60 years, courts have used qualified immunity to excuse all sorts of egregious police abuses--saying 'maybe they didn't know they couldn't do that!'--and whittle down our constitutional right to be free from such abuses into nothingness ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/zorn-...
screenshotted excerpt from the linked article, reading as follows:

Since then, federal courts have kept making qualified immunity bigger. Judges have held that it wasn’t “clearly established” that officers couldn’t rob people when they execute search warrants, or that they couldn’t sexually assault people in their custody, or that they couldn’t set someone on fire. As Mississippi federal district judge Carlton Reeves put it in a 2024 order, the doctrine essentially means that “government agents are at liberty to violate your constitutional rights as long as they do so in a novel way.”

['as long as they do so in a novel way' is italicized]

The Charleston Massacre: Memory, Loss, and Legacy with Eliana Pinckney
We’re joined by Eliana Pinckney, daughter of the late Rev. Clementa Pinckney, to reflect on the Charleston massacre’s lasting impact and her father’s legacy of love, service, and civic duty. Eliana takes us back to being 11 and honors her mother’s quiet strength. She then talks about what it’s like to be part of the 9/11 generation shaped by gun violence, living with vigilance and exhaustion while “thoughts and prayers” continue to replace policy. We also talk about civic education, performative politics, and how Eliana turns art into activism and community into change.
