because it's a catch and release situation with the prosecutors so why risk your life to put a guy in jail for 10 hours?

Yeah that’s one of the reasons I think that they don’t care. Just gonna let them keep shooting each other I guess.

didn't the AUSA for DC say recently that the reason most cases get dismissed is because of 1) DC's unaccredited crime lab; 2) bad/unconstitutional police work that's being captured on body cams, among other issues?

Obviously it's a complicated issue, but at the end of the day, you have to be able to prove a crime happened in court...
