Sounds like your local police department are a bunch of no nut dirtbags.

I figure the police don't like what happened any more than I do, but I suspect they know from experience that arresting the punk (or even the attackers) would be futile. I also suspect that they want to avoid causing trouble for their superiors, since it's practically a certainty that local activists would turn the incident into a political football.

Nobody dead. Leave well enough alone and hope it goes away. It's depressing, though, that the system has come to this.
