They're all fallable and that's the problem, they assumed that together they wouldn't be, they also simply took things into their own hands, believing that their judgement was best. They had no accountability and therefore would have got away with it. Plus seeing how different views within groups with the same aim can be, to have one act for a whole group is very arrogant. As for it possibly working under a new system, these guys all want to fight crime and whatever but put them together and they'd barely agree on the colour of the sky, prolonged exposure to each other?
