Also, he was arrested for failing to stop not, as far as we know, for running a stop sign.)

He didn't "threaten" anyone with a felony. He simply pointed out what under the law could be a felony. (See my last post that specifically addresses that.)

The whole episode at this point from what we have seen and heard, and we believe it, happened due to just one big misunderstanding.
Then, why charge him at all? Why put him and his family through all that stress and inconvenience, potentially leave him with a felony charge on his record, only to just dismiss the whole thing? What exactly is the point of that exercise?

LE and prosecutors have way, way, way too much power in this country to bring bogus or BS charges, withhold exculpatory evidence, conduct off-the-books "investigations" and a whole host of other varieties of misconduct, including egregious civil rights violations. Citizens without massive financial resources have basically no recourse to deal with this type of misconduct. Way too much unchecked power.
