Why is the boss immune from being 'let go?'

An innocent man is gunned down in front of stony faced commuters on a rush hour tube train. Seven bullets are fired into his head.
The Police are found guilty of ‘19 errors’ of judgement and the Commissioner and his deputy keep their jobs.
Ignoring demands from Politicians to resign, the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary both give them their full support to stay.
It is a total and utter travesty and misjustice. Out of respect alone for the Menezes family Ian Blair and Cressida Dick should resign.
And if they wont step down, what message is Government sending out by allowing these people to keep their jobs? ‘19 errors’ is not the odd mistake. These are fundamental flaws that undermine a complete system.  
How can we be in a position where the verdict is guilty and the prosecuted are immune from proper punishment. Imposing a derisory fine (that the taxpayer will pay) is the equivalent to asking a murderer to do a few hours of community service sweeping roads.  
We need our confidence reinforced, and rebuilt, by Government  to give us faith that these tragic events can never happen again. We can not possibly win the so called war against terrorism if innocent people are being killed by the people who are meant to be protecting us.
