did they step up to the plate? how loyal and efficient are the few that actually stood up and join their own police forces ( considering they are in it for the moola not out of idealism)
nothing changed today, not really

Whatever! I'm overrating it, fine. I think you're underrating it. Nothing changed today but I look to tomorrow with hopes for fresh change after the last 2-3 bungled years. If you had lived under his regime and he was now turning grey under a sheet, you might now be achieving the mental critical mass to start really thinking about your future. I take no exception to your citation of the lackluster response of the collective 'people' thus far and you'd see I raised the same questions days ago here on this forum. Nonetheless, a minor event like this can be a catalyzing event for a people. If they continue on as mindless drones then feel free to call me out after an appropriate period - it isn't really my loss, now is it?? My thoughts & prayers lie with these people right now, hoping they now take action to determine their own fates (the more attentive of the whingers might note that this would quicker enable the US to Pull the Fcuk Out). What you call overestimation I call hope, and what I call underestimation I might also call apathy.
