I would expect that if you commit a rape and post about it here, you’ll get a lot of support!. And clearly this is THE site for catchy rape music. Some songs I’m working on: “Somewhere, over the rape hole…” “R-A-P-E-1-2-3, find out what it means to me…” ---

> [@Skammer](#): > > The incident described in the OP is outrageous, and I don’t want to sound heartless (although that would be hard in this thread)… but is there any evidence the woman’s accusations are true? Did the hospital find evidence that a rape occurred? Did the boyfriend corroborate the story? I know about the Thin Blue Line, but it just seems that there were an awful lot of people involved for no one to defend the woman or blow the whistle if her description of events was accurate. The fact that they laughed at her is difficult to believe. > > Of course if it _is_ true, it’s incredibly heinous. Part of the problem is that she wasn’t taken to the hospital until a significant amount of time had passed, so any evidence that might have been there could have deteriorated. And the fact that she wasn’t taken to the hospital, and was thrown into the slammer for a while, indicates that this isn’t the first time that someone has accused a cop in this group of rape, and they are all pretty much used to covering things up. ---

Even if they’d gotten her to a hospital and collected evidence immediately, the rapist has already changed his story from “I had consensual sex with her before, but not this time” to “Uh, wait, no, we didn’t have sex before, but this time we did exactly what she claimed, except it was consensual.” It still comes down to her word versus his, and even with a huge fucking mountain of other supporting evidence, the DA still didn’t want to prosecute the case. ---

Without wanting to get into too much detail because it squicks me out, medical professionals can often tell non-consensual sex from the proper kind even 12 hours later. ---

It’s become more univeral now that it’s in the mainstream. People are encourage to display their hatred of everyone from all racial groups thus eliminating any discrimination. ---

> [@marshmallow](#): > > I can understand how one crazy person could seamlessly blend into an institution and cover his tracks, especially since any self reporting of their victims will be distrusted off the bat. I’m sure lots of criminal women cry rape in a desperate attempt to somehow get free. But the part where the other officers _laugh_ at her, don’t check her claims out, and just let her stew in a cell is serious nightmare fuel. Cops are bad people. This is what they do. ---
