You could feel (or at least *I* could feel) her difficulty in suppressing the absolute agony and fire in her soul with respect to the situation as she read her statement.
I think for many of us, given the events of the past year and expanded media coverage, little has changed in terms of police departments reading the writing on the wall and dealing with the fact that "times have changed" and this sort of thing will no longer be condoned or covered up. Just a lot of bad apples out there, up the chain. It's not unlike the child-abuse cases finally being dealt with in the Catholic church - getting the infection exposed, accepting responsibility, and ridding the institution of the infestation.... and this needs to happen in many LE departments.
