Do you think police stop rapes from happening?
Rapes happen in peoples' homes where there are no police. Then, if the victim chooses to report it, they are often blown off by the police entirely unless the circumstances make it impossible to ignore.
- oh_sigh 6y agoPolice try to find and arrest rapists, who would probably go on to rape other people if they weren't in prison.
- tehwebguy 6y agoOne would think that
- groby_b 6y agoThat is a lovely idea, but alas not matched by reality. https://www.startribune.com/ignoring-rape-complaints-when-police-fail-to-protect-and-serve/489385841/ https://www.startribune.com/ignoring-rape-complaints-when-po... https://www.focusforhealth.org/women-across-the-us-suing-police-for-refusing-to-investigate-their-rape-kits/ https://www.focusforhealth.org/women-across-the-us-suing-pol... https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2018/11/investigates/police-destroyed-rapekits/springfield.html https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2018/11/investigates/police-... https://ilr.law.uiowa.edu/print/volume-99-issue-3/how-to-lie-with-rape-statistics-americas-hidden-rape-crisis/ https://ilr.law.uiowa.edu/print/volume-99-issue-3/how-to-lie... And that's really just the tip of the iceberg.
- oh_sigh 6y agoAll black people are violent. Now let me quote you five articles showing a black person being violent to prove my point. That's very convincing!
- selectodude 6y agoOnly if they decide they wouldn’t rather rape you too. https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/19/us/police-sexual-assaults-maryland-scope/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/19/us/police-sexual-assaults-mar...
- oh_sigh 6y agoI'm wondering if you judge other groups by the worst behavior of any member of the given group?
- tehwebguy 6y agoI don't believe there are any other groups, besides law enforcement & politicians, who have have unilateral or near-unilateral power to investigate and clear themselves of crimes, so I don't think this question makes sense.
- oh_sigh 6y agoSo your standard is you only judge groups collectively by the actions of some individuals when they have investigative powers?
- colejohnson66 6y agoYou would think. But I know someone who was raped. The guy even bragged about it. But the DA declined to prosecute.
- tathougies 6y agoThe da is not the police.

- oh_sigh 6y agoAnecdotes become data when rape is involved.
- biolurker1 6y agoYou confuse something that is bad in practice with something that is bad in theory
- tehwebguy 6y agoI confuse nothing, I simply care not for theory when practice shows it is bunk
