They seemingly exhausted avenues of investigation and when that was inconclusive they were forced to seek intervention against a person harassing numerous staff members.
They did something, against a person whom could be positively identified snd their actions proved beyond a doubt. Your position is a false equivalence.
Edit: also you seem to be suggesting that individuals including the clerk had power to perform some action but instead chose to sue. This is ridiculous.
Mayor Katherine Ross and Police Chief Brian Lynch were both there at the hearing, supporting the clerk
Lux believes police botched the investigation, pointing to lost evidence, unpursued leads, and the involvement of an officer who’d been suspended for shoddy follow-through on sexual assault cases.
The mayor and police chief have the power here, to either address the issues in their police department on a policy level or by investigating the officer that’s bad at his job. Did they do anything?
Yes I suppose all police and council members, staff and dispatchers should drop everything for the forseeable future to deal with a case which has little evidence and no prime suspect.
Otherwise they should expect 24/7 harrassment from a nut job.
Why not just… Have case workers that are the main point of contact, and they manage access to services for these people? Encourage trauma therapy, etc?
It’s pretty clear this woman was drugged, and she made it home, got hurt and shit everywhere. She needed empathy.

Results shouldn’t take this long, the victim is being completely reasonably pissed.
Hardly justifies abusing people such as the clerk who have no power to resolve the issue.
Alright, so they collectively threw up their hands, and instead of devoting resources to help this traumatized person they prosecuted her instead.
Don’t tell me they couldn’t do anything when they did something.

If you read the article first you would know
I did
They covered their butts instead of offering a traumatised woman services.
I know the answer is “it doesn’t work like that”, and I’m saying it should work like that.
