I believe qualified immunity only protects from direct civil litigation but not criminal.

Yep, it's a rough analogy, not a perfect match.

And, given the state of policing and justice in the US, civil litigation is often the only way to get any relief for over-zealous policing. And QI makes that bar even higher than it should be.

Find me a DA that will routinely prosecute crooked cops. They don’t exist because the gangs close ranks and protest by refusing to their job. When other state employees protest they get beaten and forced back to work.

Interesting.
