Using our voice and vote to influence the process is part of who we are.
I am not sure we understand eachother. Of course we also have elections where we can vote. Of course we can raise our voice in public. But we were not speaking about elections or raising our voice in public. We were speaking about (at least this was my understanding) interfering with ongoing investigation by calling a district attorney. No way public can get involved in a such a thing and what public gets is a media statement, something like - we are doing everything we can to conduct the investigation according to law as soon as possible. We will notify you once more results will be final. We can't disclose detailed information due to protection of the process.
In the U.S. we can call and write our officials. They may not answer, but we can call and write. In the U.S., calling and writing officials is not considered interfering with the process.
