You make lots of good points, especially by stating that getting Oritz fired should not be the end-goal. A larger effort will be needed to start swaying the general population's opinion on tough-on-crime policies.

There are many ways to approach the problem, but every resolution needs a beginning. That is how I view the Oritz initiative: a beginning. I'm sure that other government workers are taking notice and will likely adjust their behavior in the future, even if we can't quantify it. In that sense we've already made progress.

I only wish this effort could have begun under less tragic circumstances.
