This kiss ass article in which the author castigates everyone that won't be helpful to him in the future is a perfect example.

Read between the lines on this blurb. Btw, this does not exonerate people for bad conduct, but we have standards of proof regarding criminal conduct for a reason. It's not that MN might not have had some bad actors they needed to discipline/dismiss, it's that they witch hunted everyone who might have had any association with bad acts (including one person they can't even establish was at the apartment the night of the alleged sexual misconduct) and made sure to punish them all. The whole design of American justice was intended to PREVENT EXACTLY THESE OUTCOMES.
A number of his players participated in an episode that was questionable at best, criminal at worst, and launched investigations by the Minneapolis Police and the U’s Office for Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action. The latter resulted in an 80-page report that disgusted nearly everyone who bothered to read it, including Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman.
Freeman declined to pursue charges in November but re-examined the case in the wake of the report’s release. He declined a second time, citing a lack of new evidence that would prove a crime had been committed “under our much higher standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt,” but felt compelled to say the report “shined a light on what can only be described as deplorable behavior.”
