So the chief has apologised

for terrorizing the family and killing the dogs; isn't that nice? Doesn't that make it all better? Hmmm?

I mean, just because they only did it after the bungled mess became big news, and they've undoubtedly caught hell from people all over the place and wound up looking like the proverbial jack-booted thugs, well, we shouldn't hold that against them. Even though they'd done something similar before, dog killing and all? "All right, I've apologized, now can you drop it? It's bad for morale when people know about all this, and it makes us look bad. So shut up, already."

No, you moron, it's not enough.
