Count me on the side that says it's good to hear that some action is being taken and that potentially fruitful results may follow.
This. It doesn't take a law degree to realize that it isn't the police's job to get convictions [[hell, all you have to do is watch one episode of Law & Order to figure that one out). The police investigate the crime and make an arrest based on the evidence. It is up to the prosecutor to get the conviction. This Meddle person clearly just wants to bitch.
