oh yeah, cops

Cops have helped me ap­prox­i­mate­ly 0 times in emergencies.

And are the group I most fear be­ing as­sault­ed by, sex­u­al­ly or otherwise.

I don’t call to re­port neigh­bors, noise, or stu­pid shit be­cause that is gam­bling with lives as far as I’m concerned.

I dial 911 when some­body needs an am­bu­lance or there’s a fire – you know, for the pub­lic ser­vices we have that ac­tu­al­ly help.

 

Bootlick­ers are like, “Oh yeah?? Who you gonna call when some­one rapes you???” Like bud­dy I called the cops when I got as­sault­ed and they said there was no ev­i­dence and they had no case and was I sure it wasn’t a misunderstanding.

RAINN es­ti­mates that for every 1,000 rapes, 384 are re­port­ed, 57 re­sult in ar­rest, 11 re­ferred pros­e­cu­tion, 7 re­sult in felony con­vic­tion, and 6 re­sult in in­car­cer­a­tion, so again fuck the police.

About 10 years ago I passed out at a col­lege Christ­mas Eve par­ty, woke up with a dude try­ing to suck me off. Spent Christ­mas Day at the PD and then the hos­pi­tal get­ting swabbed. Dude first told them noth­ing hap­pened. 2nd in­ter­view said maybe some­thing did and I just re­gret­ted it.

I was wait­ing to in­ter­view a vic­tim ad­vo­cate when I over­heard a po­lice­man in­ter­ro­gat­ing a woman be­cause she had “re­port­ed so many men” that it was “hard to be­lieve her” and “did she agree that some­times peo­ple make these things up for attention” 🤢

I tried telling the po­lice and noth­ing hap­pened and I end­ed up get­ting sued for defama­tion. Luck­i­ly I won that be­cause I had a bad ass fe­male attorney.

I’m see­ing peo­ple ask things like “But if there are no po­lice who will go af­ter RAPISTS???” and well I have some very bad news for those folks

“A 2015 in­ves­ti­ga­tion by the Buf­fa­lo News, based on a na­tion­al re­view of me­dia re­ports and court records over a 10-year pe­ri­od, con­clud­ed that an of­fi­cer is ac­cused of an act of sex­u­al mis­con­duct at least every five days.” https://t.co/Ew5tPciduW

“[O]ne study sur­vey­ing al­most 1,000 youth in New York City found that two out of five young women had been sex­u­al­ly ha­rassed by po­lice of­fi­cers.” https://t.co/gFfCxPbv6M

“Af­ter be­ing called to the vic­tim’s building.…Moreno and Mata re­turned to the ac­cuser’s apart­ment three times dur­ing the night in ques­tion in De­cem­ber 2008 with­out call­ing it in.” https://t.co/p5vYd2LTsR

“The de­tec­tives — Ed­die Mar­tins, 39, and Richard Hall, 34 — were ac­cused in 2017 of rap­ing a teenage girl they took into cus­tody for mar­i­jua­na pos­ses­sion. She was 18 at the time of the in­ci­dent…” https://t.co/UKgmWXbHhQ

LRT: “Out of the hun­dreds of po­lice of­fi­cers ter­mi­nat­ed for sex­u­al abuse in re­cent years, only a small num­ber faced crim­i­nal charges and even few­er were con­vict­ed. And black women are es­pe­cial­ly li­able to be their targets.”

Let me leave you with the sto­ry of the NYPD cop who was lit­er­al­ly mak­ing plans to abduct, rape, mur­der, and eat mul­ti­ple women and a whole bunch of peo­ple were like “okay but maybe we’re be­ing too harsh in as­sum­ing he’s *dan­ger­ous*” https://t.co/29GqKvgbcq

And while you were read­ing, I was just dis­cussing with Rose how our moms both taught us, as a part of dri­ving safe­ty, nev­er to be alone in the pres­ence of a cop – be­cause of the his­to­ry of raping.

So be care­ful out there, with all these thugs roam­ing around.
