Qualified immunity makes it harder to arrest cops, but what does that have to do with whether or not a police officer chooses to try? Qualified immunity is just a legal concept, it's not like police departments made it up to protect themselves, that's not how laws work. Anyways, as I said before the difficulty in getting cops arrested actually makes police officers who don't report their colleagues more understandable (the case might not go anywhere so don't even try).
Thats fine if you don't want to reply, I'm not really trying to argue with you individually I more just want to present my view along side yours for everyone who reads the thread.
