Her actual report was pretty diplomatic towards the PPD, in my opinion. It objectively quantified numerous shortcomings and areas in need of improvement but didn't make efforts to shit on any particular person, and offered plenty of legitimate reasons why they struggled in certain areas, often mainly staffing issues "post"-COVID. I was disappointed (but not surprised) by how hard McNesby cried about it given it actually showed PPD needs help, not hate.

Good take. One could have read the report and interpreted it as suggesting the police are set up to fail and the department needs reform to better support the rank and file. McNesby instead sees everything through and Us vs. Them lens and took it as an attack on the police force as a whole.
