This all started with Wilson and his Southern Revisionist cohorts. They changed the law in 1874 illegally. Had that clause not been eliminated, Wilson and by extension the modern GOP and “Police,” wouldn’t have had immunity from prosecution, which is what the 1871 Congress intended when they passed Federal Statute Section 1983.
