Nashville police drop thousands of domestic violence cases
During the past four years, Nashville police have dropped thousands of investigations into domestic violence, according to an investigation by The Tennessean.
In one such instance last year, an officer closed the case by saying the victim "doesn't wish to prosecute at this time." Accompanying the report were pictures of the woman's black-and-blue arms.
At least two victims told The Tennessean that they wanted to press charges but that detectives said their cases "had already been closed — because the victim refused to cooperate."
