As an NYC resident, I see cops helping people with directions and MTA cards all the time, often unasked. RE: being "horrible" to abuse survivors, again, I think your perceptions have been skewed by all the stories you've heard about this happening, and all the stories you haven't heard about it not happening, because it's not newsworthy when it doesn't happen. Do you have any evidence this is occurring in a majority, or even a large minority of cases?
- tedks 12y agoMy opinion about cops being horrible to rape and DV survivors comes from my work in the communities. I live in Washington DC and would never in a million years ask a metro cop for help. Nor do I typically see people doing so. The only thing I see metro cops doing are "randomly" searching black people or punk-looking kids' bags.
