Marysville drops criminal charge against musical protestor
MARYSVILLE — Criminal charges were dismissed Thursday for a Marysville man who has been protesting against police brutality for months through music.
The city prosecutor’s office claimed a noise violation infraction had been elevated to a misdemeanor due to a “clerical/computer error.”
Marysville police officer David Allen cited Black Lives Matter protester Elton Davis, 34, in late June for playing music on the roof of his apartment building in a recurring protest in which Davis and a group of friends also waved signs to speak out against racism and police brutality.
It was never intended to be a criminal complaint, according to documents filed Thursday in Marysville Municipal Court.

Cops should be rated on whether the charges/arrests they make amount to convictions or dismissals. I mean why waste the tax payers dollars on bullshit?
