In addition, the governor said that any local governments that choose to “defund” their law enforcement agencies will be denied any grants or aid from the state. And any cities that reduce law enforcement funding will no longer have the protection of sovereign immunity.
“We also understand that victims need to be compensated and so if you have a situation where a local government is grossly negligent, where they abdicate their responsibility to protect people and property like we saw in some of these cities throughout the United States, we will waive sovereign immunity and let you get compensated by suing those local governments,” DeSantis said.
There it is, right there. Remove or restrict qualified immunity from mayors/city councils when they deliberately allow violent riots and arson/looting, and suddenly they will shut down said activities.
And using racketeering statutes to go after the organizers/money bags is smart.
