It's not nearly sufficient. People in this one town have been suffering for decades. It's probably happening in many more towns where nobody leaked the Internal Affairs investigation. We are failing as a society if we don't see our obvious, critical error and do better.

I never said it was sufficient. (If this is what you understood, I'd like to better understand how I could better write my statement so as not to be misunderstood in the future.) I am only remarking that people in power are not safe from the press or from guilt.
Besides, what would you have them do? You speak of the failures we encounter in society, but not a way to solve them.
I am just happy to see democratic ideals in action. I do not make a claim to the sufficiency of the system in place, but to the ideals that the system stands for. I advocate for replacing the system. (and not the ideals.)

People in power are very safe, people in power torture and commit war crimes, how foolish to say otherwise.
But these people were not innocent. This is the evidence. And justice will be served.
As long as discoveries like this are made and we have freedom of the press, justice will continue to be served.
edit: I do not make a claim to the sufficiency of the system, but am happy to see democratic ideals in action; there appears to have been a misunderstanding
