LA DA drops 16 felony charges against officer Daniel Flores, who recorded racist and sexist remarks by colleagues — a move sparking debate over whether prosecuting whistleblowers discourages reporting misconduct.

The DA says the office aims to encourage proper reporting channels while condemning the hate speech — but not enough evidence exists to pursue charges against those who made the remarks.
