That's the only way I see the reaction to what Neufeld's statement making any sense, to be honest, because I don't know what people expected given the reaction if not Twitter outrage in press release form. He's been with CPS since 2019 so the incident itself significantly predates him. He explains what he understands to have transpired, how it would have been handled differently today, and that steps are being made to evolve processes at the CPS. This is the same police chief that, in response to the 'Defund the Police' movement has actually been open to the idea. Did everyone forget that?
I don't want public figures to adopt the over-the-top outrage that permeates social media. Measured, level-headed responses are absolutely preferred. That doesn't preclude incorporating swift condemnation when something is definitely rotten.
