    “Police say the victim does not wish to press charges.”

    Funny how that only gets trotted out to defend racists, rapists, and other people cops don’t want to set a precedent for charging on their own volition.

      It’s also bullshit. If the victim doesn’t want to come forward, a good DA can still bring charges
