Under traditional theories, the goal of law enforcement was the adoption of clear rules of conduct and then enforcing those rules in a color-blind manner.  Because law enforcement officials have to make split-second decisions that could result in serious bodily harm or death, most states adopted [[qualified immunity]] statutes to protect individual law enforcement officers from liability for such injuries.  In contrast, CRT sees all events and interactions as involving race and the exercise of power to subjugate racial groups.  Accordingly, CRT justifies movements to "defund the police" and to repeal qualified immunity for law enforcement.
