Qualified immunity is a legal doctrine that protects government officials from lawsuits seeking money damages. [read all]
What's fascinating here is this money damage as a starting point. I makes me feels justice is based on money.
Seems this forces
to a take a side. That is probably one of the main problem, a culture of "taking a side".
I think that removing qualified immunity may cause alot of troubles, this is why since year it has not being touched. People would reversingly abuse it.
However maybe it could be modified by introducing purely independant investigations, from indenpendant entities. Cost a bit money.

I think the most important factor is the lack of a proper social security/welfare system in the U.S.
This is right, but also in the cultural sense there's also a layer of "tracing" to the citizen even the poorest, the state structure, the culture of "being a part of the system" is much more present imo.
After that yes: GINI INDEX vs EU make things clear. May have to add others factors like political choices to dilute poor urban areas instead of to let them concentrate to a point of no-return (even in europe we have the problem, it's much lower)
And finally the massive amount of firearms.
I see no magic solution, vote for Ocasio-cortez and keep her in charge for 30 years, eventually lol.

An example of police doing their job properly; much method and these very controlled sprays on faces. Absolutely perfect !
Unfortunately the social media spread your country disease here, using some very old issue we had 5 years ago (young one who probably had a panic attack - believe me)
This is why i'm advocating for the immediate shutdown of americans social media plateforms in Europe.
