This whole thing is Mike Nifong and the Duke lacrosse players all over again.
Yep. Another case of racial and social justice at its finest, facts be damned.
No one on the left ever apologizes.
They're also never held to account in any meaningful way. When they do get called on something, they usually hide behind the aegis of the bureaucracy they represent, making the faceless entity the bad guy rather than them personally. This is one of the Left's key ways of waging the Culture War: they can do improper, unethical, and outright illegal things and then when/if they have to compensate an aggrieved party they do so with the public treasury. There is nothing to really prevent abuses, so they proceed apace until a certain amount of abuse is just considered "the way it is" and people just try to avoid it as much as possible. It is normalized that the government doesn't obey the restraints on its authority.
And hence I return to the Ripley Doctrine.
