Anger is rising among police investigators who watch helplessly as suspects considered dangers to the public are let go.Police sources have said that the strike is continuing to cause the release of dangerous alleged offenders, since state prosecutors are failing to show up in court to indict the suspects.Last week, Cmdr. Yoav Seglovitch said a total of 35 suspects - including alleged sexual offenders, violent offenders, suspects allged to have carried out robberies, dealt in drugs, and illegally possessed arms - have been let go as a result of the inablity to prosecute them, and the number has grown since.Yaakov Lappin and Dan Izenberg contributed to this report
