the point is that this is a deflection, whether consciously intended or not. you didn't have anything more relevant to say so you succumbed to subconscious bias

the point is that this is a deflection, whether consciously intended or not. you didn't have anything more relevant to say so you succumbed to subconscious biases to post this random factoid.

How is it a deflection? This same topic has been seen when it was victims of other demographics. Most recently there has been scrutiny of the actions where a homeless man jumped into water and drowned while talking to police, and the delay in entry for the Uvalde school shooting. This "factoid" is not random. This is a pattern that we continue to see, that affects many demographics. We need to eliminate these misconceptions so that people know their rights and options. Maybe that will help curb the future damage, or at least allow people to make decisions based on reality.

  no, you're posting all over this thread about random other factoids rather than focusing on how systemic sex abuse was fostered in not one, but multiple, public institutions, or about how and why the legal system should attack such affronts with the vigor they go after gang members with. why don't you talk about the mechanics of police looking the other way around sexual violence? anything that's actually relevant, rather than these sidelong glances.

    Why do I have to focus in one small piece - the only piece you are interested in? Is it not possible that other pieces are more interesting to other people? Perhaps I'm already well aware of police looking the other way on sexual misconduct, including legally raping those in their custody. To me its old news and throughly explored, and thus, uninteresting to me. (Unless we're talking new ways to change that) I brought up the "police looking the other way" in the grander context - that they can do this for things other than just sexual assault. This is relevant. Sorry that you think everyone needs to think nd feel exactly like you, and that other people's opinions and views aren't as important as your's.

      i'm challenging you to do better. how you respond to that challenge is up to you. it also reveals who you are, if you care to self-examine.
