What charges? And what does police lying to the father have to do with their hiring practices?
I’m trying to help you out here. Your argument is emotional and illogical. We are understandably upset by what happened, but your calls for revenge are not effective. You have to understand the law, understand what went wrong in hiring process, and then figure out the best way to fix the problem. Part of that fix might be to punish anyone who failed in their duties. And it’s OK if you don’t have an instant solution. Part of what is needed is to figure out the solution.
Emotional appeals are easy and do little but help you blow off steam. Fixing the problem is hard, but it’s not a waste of that steam you want to vent.
Do you know what works? Writing physical letters to the state attorney general, demanding an independent investigation of the whole sheriffs department. Someone has to open the letters. And then they have to pass the letter on to someone else to deal with. Maybe that person puts your letter into a file with other similar letters. If the file gets too big, someone in the AG office has to figure out what to do with it.
Here is the thing about physical mail, and why elected officials pay attention (or should pay attention). Maybe one out of a thousand citizens will send a physical letter about an issue. If they receive 50 letters, that represents 50,000 potential voters.
So the thing you can do right now to be effective is look up the mailing address of the State attorney general’s office. (You can do the same for the governor and anyone else you think could help.) Then write a letter demanding an independent investigation.
This one thing is a million times more effective than posting a year’s worth of YouTube comments, and you can do it in a half hour. Maybe less time, but it shouldn’t take more than an hour of your time.
