Black Family Forced to Drop Lawsuit for Jimmie Saunders after Judge Rules White Appleton Cop Can't Be Held Accountable for Recklessly Firing a Gun in a Bar, Fatally Shooting Him in the Back
/ACCORDING TO FUNKTIONARY:
Sovereign immunity – “government” so-called, applying the law of the jungle to its relationship to the people. We are bound by the written law but those who wrote the law are bound by the law of the jungle. Makes you feel like a fool, doesn’t it? Minority rule majority fooled? Surely, on earth as it is in heaven. Why would we ever allow “government” to assert the position that it is not bound by the same law that binds us? The answer is that we are fools sweet-talked by judges into believing that the “natural state of affairs” is to bind the people by law, and the “government” by fiat. “Government” has replaced religion as the opiate of the masses using the Media as its subduing gasses (fumes of subterfuge).

From [HERE] and [HERE] The family of a man inadvertently shot and killed by an Appleton police officer during a bar fight will end its wrongful deathful lawsuit, their attorney tells FOX 11.
It was after midnight when a fight broke out between two men at a bar in Wisconsin in 2017, prompting two other men to try to break up the fight, including Jimmie Sanders, a 33-year-old Black man.
However, one of the men fighting pulled out a gun, and a single shot was fired, sending customers running out of the bar, which drew the attention of Appleton Police Lt. Jay Steinke, who was on foot patrol outside the bar with another cop.
Steinke drew his own gun and entered the bar, firing four shots — one of which struck Sanders in the back and killed him — even though he was trying to break up the fight.
Lt. Jay Steinke shot and killed Jimmie Sanders at Jack's Apple Pub on May 21, 2017. There was a fight at the bar, which Sanders was not a part of. During the incident, Steinke fired, striking Sanders.
After a review, the district attorney cleared Steinke of any criminal charges.
In July 2020, the Sanders estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit in federal court, accusing Steinke of unreasonable use of force. Steinke's attorneys asserted he is entitled to qualified immunity, discretionary act immunity, and that his conduct was privileged under the law. In September, a federal judge dismissed the case, stating Steinke’s claim of qualified immunity was valid and sufficient.
The family filed a notice of appeal with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. Sanders’ briefs were due Friday, but court records show nothing has been filed.
William Sulton, the Sanders’ estate’s attorney told FOX 11 Monday, “We intend to dismiss the appeal voluntarily.”
Sulton said based on the lower court ruling, there was no basis for an appeal. He called the result “justice denied” for Sanders’ family.
