The suspect just doesn’t look like him. I get what you mean but I think it’s expected of the cop to at least review whatever it gives him. He didn’t even give it a glance.
My point is that it’s not about competency of the cop it’s about his intent. Qualified immunity can be brought down if and only if you can prove ill intent which is a very high bar to pass.
I’m no lawyer or prosecutor though so that’s just my understanding of the qualified immunity in the US. It’s an extremely strong shield for even the most incompetent cop that has ever existed.
