Reply to comment by Goddess_Peorth in Charges against man beaten at Camden County jail dropped by fickystingas

They typically drop charges in these cases because it reduces the defendant’s ability to countersue.

Not at all about veracity. About reducing risk for the prosecutor, who is fully aware of the backlash already incoming.

Exactly. Dropping the charges tells us nothing. It is not a signal that the charges were fake, or that there was no evidence.

So many people confuse knowing the cops are corrupt, or being anti-police, and the associated hyperbole, with understands what information is learned from an action. Critical thinking is dead this generation. Hopefully their kids will rebel by reading books or something.
