NYPD Message To Women: Keep Wearing Skirts If You Want To Get Raped
Police in NYC are advising women in Brooklyn to avoid wearing skirts due to the recent attacks in Park Slope. Yeah, because a rapist is not going to attack you when you’re wearing sweatpants. Way to perpetuate victim blaming, NYPD.
Lauren, who did not want her last name used, told the the Wall Street Journal that she was walking down the street in shorts and a t-shirt after leaving the gym on Monday when she was stopped by an officer who also stopped two other women in dresses.
Lauren said the officer asked them if they knew what was happening in the area, and asked them if they knew what the suspect looked for.
“He pointed at my outfit and said, ‘Don’t you think your shorts are a little short?’” she told the Journal. “He pointed at their dresses and said they were showing a lot of skin.”

DudeicusMaximus a year agoI can’t believe no one ran out and helped her. If that was happening outside of my apartment I would run out with my skateboard (because I don’t have a bat) and hit him in the back of the head with the trucks.

angha a year agoWhat a sick sack of shit. -.- I can’t believe the video is … Ugh… I thought it was going to be a news report or something… But it was an actual clip of what’s happening. I feel nauseous now. But, you know what? I’m a strong believer of what goes around comes around. That disgusting monster is going to get what’s coming to him ten fold, I’m sure of it.

a short haired girl a year agoof course rapist go after women with clothing that is easily removable. anything to make sure that they can attack the victim quickly and with out much effort. however, that cop’s remarks were out of line. it would have been far easier for him to inform her of a rapist in the area and she could have taken the proper precautions on her own.

What the officer said was inappropriate. But those are the comments of one officer. Based on his actions alone, we shouldn’t pass judgement on the whole department. It’s sad but true, there are knucklehead cops out there. But you try hiring 30,000 + people and not end up with some idiots. Especially when the job is not that great.
