I think part of the problem in this topic is that part of this is vague. Were the police aware that you needed medication? And if so, did they withhold it from you? If so, couldn't that be grounds for a lawsuit (civil rights violation)?

Consider this next part rhetorical, since I would understand if you didn't want to disclose any of this information: You mention that the detective kept trying to add more charges. What were the initial charges, and what charges was she trying to add? Did it seem as if she was just fishing for something that would stick, or were the charges legit? Did she manage to get any of them added prior to the charges being dismissed? It's possible that she was being thorough, and it's possible that she was being an insufferable bitch.

IMO, there are too few details to make any judgment, and you're certainly under no obligation to disclose them. But it does leave you open to opinions other than "law enforcement are acting like jerks." I think that the media has made the habit of hanging people on almost no information so commonplace that it feels natural to fill in the gaps when we're given so little information to go on. Sometimes it seems as if most of our exercise these days comes from jumping to conclusions and jerking our knees.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
