if that's "not wrongdoing" idk if I want to know what malfeasance would look like
"Look mistakes were made, it's just that technically they didn't violate official policy letting a madman gun down your children while they cowered in the hallway."
someone told me the pigs shooting blindly into a car because of an acorn didn't violate any policy despite violating literally half of gun safety rules
I saw the headline and even though it was predictable - it still sort of shocked me.
For sure, you don't really get to see the system say "technically we don't owe you anything by design, we are an instrument of force that has no inherent connection to your safety or wellbeing" out loud very often. You know they're not on good footing when they have to resort to that.
In a rich white community one dead kid due to cop cowardice, incompetence, stupidity or some combination - might result on at least one cop going to trial. But twenty dead kids in a typical community where the cops are 100% responsible for most deaths has no accountability at all.
And I can't believe it's a coincidence that the report was issued today which is a very usual day when the State of the Union sucks up nearly all of the media's attention.
what malfeasance would look like
An important rich person dying obviously (would have to be quite rich and important)
the sound of children screaming has been removed
