Great effort! It's inspiring to hear of an example showing that although
there are corrupt people in the system, they don't always get away with
abusing their powers. Thanks for using any privilege* you may have to stand
up for yourself, and by extension for others who have less privilege.
* this is in *no* way meant as any kind of subtle dig at you. I just mean
that a) some of us are born into social categories that tend to get less
scrutiny and more respect than others by default and/or b) have constructed
our lives in such as way as to have very little to lose, or a strong support
network of other people willing and able to speak truth to power, or both.
For these reasons (among others), it can be possible for us to rock the boat
in pursuit of a just cause, and risk being labelled a troublemaker or marked
for retaliation, in ways that are too risky for others.
