Ugh. Yet another troubling indication of misconduct with the MP PD.

@ Unpacking this: Are you getting additional information the rest of the public is not? I see nothing to support that 'slam' against the MPPD. From what I read, they received a complaint, investigated, felt enough information warranted an arrest, arrested the person and turned it over to the DA. The DA, from what I read, states correct, but they do not feel they could win the case in front of a jury (implied at this time). Charges dropped, and of course we all know later they can come back and charge
So my question - where do you get information to state "misconduct"

Must have a real problem with the police. The DA didn't have sufficient evidence to try the case. A rape and robbery in December and the police are contacted in Feb.?

I'm with Roberto "unpacking this". Do you have some information not published in the article? There was no malfeasance. As SteveC said, the police received a complaint, investigated, arrested and booked a suspect and turned it over to the DA for charging. The DA's office decided not to charge. That's MPPD's fault? Seriously? Either you are a troll or you have NO idea how our criminal justice system works.
