At Blizzard Activision, people got fired, the company's stock went down in value, the CEO probably would have been fired if they hadn't gotten acquired (and he will leave once the acquisition closes), and they have changed their policies and brought in people to try to change the culture. And many employees at the company supported those changes and wanted more aggressive changes - employee unhappiness was a huge part of the problem for them. So the analogy isn't totally accurate.

I do agree that it's generally a problem that people in positions of power often don't face consequences for their misdeeds. That's a systemic cultural problem. At the same time, police are shielded from consequences in particularly notable ways, and individual police officers support the strong resistance to change within police departments, and unlike private companies, police are public servants who are supposed to be answerable to civilian governments and ultimately to the people.

only because it got reported to outside sources, though. lbr, if it hadn't gotten out you know nothing would have happened and it would just have kept on going for years.

As I said, I agree that it's a broad systemic problem that people in positions of power often don't face consequences when they fuck up. But I think the problem with police as an institution is particularly notable and deep for a few reasons. One, the mechanisms in place to protect police officers from consequences are especially strong, and often even in cases where there is public attention there won't be meaningful consequences. Two, individual police officers are particularly resistant to change within police departments and often supportive of bad practices in a way that employees at Blizzard aren't. And three, police officers are public servants. We're not talking about a corporation, we're talking about officers of the law.
