Attorney General Dana Nessel's office is ending its pursuit of criminal prosecutions over the Flint water crisis after seven years of no convictions, a decision that came Tuesday after the Michigan Supreme Court rejected an attempt to revive charges against Republican former Gov. Rick Snyder.

If Flint had been a village in China, the offending officials would have gotten the death sentence years ago.

That‘s certainly very frustrating.

Not sure how a situation like this would have played out. If you were under an objectively moral and good dictatorship it would certainly be better, but if it isn’t and doesn’t work out you’re really out of luck. "Democracy is the worst form of Government except for all the others". Understandable reaction though.

It would have played out with flint actually getting their water fixed and those responsible brought to justice. Lmfao "dictator" as if that's worse than having a guy voted in just to do fuck all.
