Charges against hundreds of NYC rioters, looters have been dropped

 Hundreds of alleged looters and rioters busted last year in protests over George Floyd’s murder by police have had their charges dropped, according to NYPD data — figures ripped as “disgusting” by a local business owner.

 Sources in the DA’s offices insisted that in many of the cases, the evidence was not strong enough to secure a conviction. The offices are also swamped with a backlog of cases created by the courts’ prolonged closure during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Simple question - aside from the personal feelings of one victim and claims of one former policeman - why is no evidence being reported that charges were dropped in spite of having solid evidence of criminal behavior ?
