Investigations, actions, and indictments CAN happen faster...

...when there's a will to act.

A will which is curiously present when black cops are out of control.

A will which is curiously lacking when white cops are out of control.

A will which is curiously lacking when orange presidents attempt to overthrow the government.

to the barrel! It's a perfectly good barrel! Just a few bad apples is all, and now that they've been removed, y'all can move along.

Unless you can point to a jurisdiction that has addressed both in differing way, there’s no comparison between what jurisdiction “A” does and jurisdiction “B” does.

It's somewhere between an opinion and an assertion of fact.

But I'm pretty sure no analogies were harmed in the creation of the OP.

The “other two” being investigations and actions ie. movement.

Can you be specific?

For some time now people here have tried to calm impatience by pointing out the time frame of Watergate. Well, we are now well past that time frame, and essentially zero indictments. Heck, we will be lucky if Trump gets honored as "indicted co-conspirator" as was Richard Nixon. I am still very sorry he didn't die in jail.

Two of the three — investigations and action (firing, charges) were what I was referring to. However now all three have been done including indictments.

that you were referring to the Nichols beating.

Alas, my ability to figure out just what people here are talking about is sadly lacking.
