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.

CPS aren’t made up of police officers. They’re generally lawyers. So do you think all lawyers are rapists too?

People like you will criticise police for stopping and searching “all Asian men” and in the same breath call all police rapists. Completely unironically.

I’m aware of who the CPS are.

Who are “people like me”?

u/shadowed_siren 26d ago

People who assume all police are corrupt or racist or whatever name calling that fits your narrative that day.

Okay so how much raping are the police allowed to do before I’m allowed to have a problem with it?

Could you give me a number? How many people can they rape per year?

Maybe you should be asking why men rape so much. It’s not a police issue - it’s a man issue. It’s not just police who rape women.

Do you group together offenders based on any other immutable characteristics that they have no control over?

u/shadowed_siren 26d ago

No. I don’t even do that about men. But apparently some people need extreme examples of why generalising about an entire group of people based on the actions of a minority is ridiculous.

100% of rapes in the UK are done by males because rape is defined under law as non-consensual penetration with a penis and thus it’s impossible for female convicted rapists to exist in this country.

You’re dodging my question.

How many people are those we employ to protect us allowed to rape each year before I can be upset by it?

u/shadowed_siren 26d ago

You can be upset by it. It’s upsetting. But you can’t call all police rapists. Because that’s very obviously untrue. And incredibly offensive.

The vast majority of police are incredibly decent, caring people who get paid a pittance to do a very difficult job.

I don’t harp on about how all nurses are baby killers after Lucy Letby. Because that would be ridiculous. It’s the same when you say it about police.

I can, have, and will continue to do so.

Because it’s their job to protect us and for all the institutional changes heralded by the Letby case I can’t point to one in the police.

They’re still fighting for their right to rape and impregnate women whilst undercover without consequence.

u/shadowed_siren 26d ago

Jesus Christ. No they’re not.

What institutional changes have happened subsequent to the Letby case?

Also if you think nothing has changed in the police you're just not paying attention.
