Lawyers struggle to keep up with civil rights cases amid America's racial reckoning. 'You hear about all these wrongs and you're overwhelmed,' says one Baltimore lawyer.
"Whenever people see that there is an opportunity for change, to have the system go the way it's supposed to, they start to show who they really are," he said."That's what we're seeing right now: a bunch of police officers doing some of the same things we have been protesting about.
"These hate groups and racist people stick together," he said."And whenever something happens to one of them, they come together to say, 'Hey, we got your back.'" Parks said that there has"not necessarily been an uptick" in the number of cases but that there has been an uptick in awareness."More people are aware and more inclined to act on it," he said.
A report by the American Society for Public Administration found that"little systematic research exists to answer questions about which policies should be ended or put in place to reduce these deaths."But lawyers say they know which policy, especially, needs to end: qualified immunity, the doctrine that protects officers in a number of ways, including absolving them from civil suits.
