    Based on that pardon, one was reinstated and remains a police officer

    Id love it if we could blame just one guy on that decision, but multiple people need to be held to account.

    Why is it that people that write for a living don’t have the foresight to understand what they’re saying? Or are they just complicit?

      Can’t even hold one person accountable. Your answer is why can’t we hold everyone involved accountable?

      I think it starts with one person.

        That one person is currently untouchable because we refuse to arrest other people involved. Cases with people at the top like this usually start with arrests and case building from the bottom. It’s not an on off switch

          Sure, I can get on board with going either direction. Obviously the person who actually made the decision should definitely be held accountable along with those that aided and abetted.
