Maybe the police should take a day off from all the raping?

Maybe the whole country should take a day off from all the raping?

Don't see why the 99% of victims who weren't raped by police officers should be left to suffer...

They’re just left to suffer by the police and CPS who don’t take rape cases seriously and have an appallingly low conviction rate.

Because we’ve got foxes guarding the henhouse.

The fact that conviction rates are so low if anything suggests that the police and cps pursue charges that havent got solid evidential basis. Theyre not meant to even charge you unless its over a 50% chance of conviction, in reality its 2% for rape. Which means theyre actually pretty liberal with charging people even when the evidence is weak. The CPS isnt to blame for a juries' verdict anyway, so your point is kinda silly.

Okay do the police incompetently bungling cases on a massive scale is proof of how much they care?

That’s an original take at least.
