[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bravo to the police for the 5 arrests and keeping the investigation open. And to the parents for reporting it.[/quote]

Some credit to MCPS as well for working with police. No doubt MCPS would have stonewalled if the video hadn’t been made public, but they still deserve a little credit even though what they did was obviously the right thing to do. [/quote]

Sorry. All the credit goes to the police. I wish they released all names so I could make sure my kids stay far away. [/quote]

Agreed -- MCPD did a great job, MCPS did not.

Same with the report of the alleged rape at Rockville HS a few years ago. The public learned about it only when MCPD announced it in a press release, like they do for all major crimes. MCPS was silent (not even informing parents) and finally sent a letter home to parents in that HS days later the incident, spurred on because MCPD let the cat out of the bag and they had no choice.

This announcement was on a Friday and it hit national media because of of the alleged perps was undocumented. Fox News and the like were going wild. Of course, MCPS did nothing to counteract all the false informations spreading that weekend. For example, children have a right to enroll in public school regardles of immigration status, as confirmed by teh Supreme Court years before. But MCPS just stayed silent...[/quote]

Look. I give MCPS hell about a lot of things. And it's true, MCPS has in many instances been an obstruction to arrests and investigations. But they weren't this time and it's ok to give them credit this time.

It's not like they did it for purely altruistic reasons. Monifa knows the spotlight is on her and political pressure is intense, so it serves her to cooperate and not stonewall like how MCPS has done in the past. But nonetheless, MCPS's participation in partnership with MCPD led to this outcome. There would be no arrests without MCPS's cooperation here. [/quote]
