How about making it illegal for a state official to explicitly make credible threats to use unjustified state violence against someone? Similar to how it’s illegal for anyone to make credible threats of unjustified violence against anyone else.

Even if it became illegal, qualified immunity would protect the offical who made the threats, so officials will likely never be personally impacted by breaking the law and so it'll keep being broken.

That is a solid take. It's also the reason we have the second amendment.

Downvoted fact? Cool.

Not really factual.
