That documentary American Nightmare is crazy. Like imagine being the victims of something like that and everyone from the media to police to the FBI are like, damn, that is crazy. So crazy it didn't happen. You're lying, you killed her--oh...She turned up alive...Uh...She's lying. Wait, uh...oops. Never mind. This other cop who actually bothered to do her job and talked to all the women other cops ignored caught the guy. Um...anyway you're both alive and not in jail so we're just gonna pretend this never happened. I mean it's not like we could have known; there was a movie where the lady set everything up and was lying! How can you expect us to have actually investigated what was reported to us?

At least that one reporter had a conscience. And he actually did forward the emails he got to the police, so, y'know, he at least was doing his job. It's funny how when something like this happens, the people who did the least, all things considered, are the ones to step up and be like, yeah, I fucked up, and the ones who made blunder after blunder from sheer laziness and their own tunnel vision are just like no comment, that didn't happen, and our internal investigation found no wrong-doing on the part of us.

#anyway I know not all female cops are good people #but we know that women tend to take on male ideals in male-dominated spaces #not all women obviously but it is a phenomenon #whereas women have to make up like 80% of a space before men start agreeing with the women #so I think if women were running the police--not just a handful compared to males but like the whole thing run by women #we'd have a lot more actual violent crime being solved and less tunnel vision based on stereotypes #even more so if the racial demographics of the cops in a given area roughly matched those of the people in that area in general #because obviously racism is a huge problem too #but men like power too much #so it's not enough to just change the racial demographics because men will happily turn on their own for a scrap of power #and men of all demographics treat women like shit #so it needs to be run by specifically women who roughly match the racial demographics of the area they're in #I honestly feel that the existing police forces should be put to a women's vote of who goes and who stays #and all the ones they want gone get sacked immediately #the few who get voted to stay train female recruits #so the only males on the force are those grandfathered in #guarantee after those men retired #the number of police officer serial killers/rapists would be zero #because literally I don't think there's been a single one #like I just looked it up and found a female officer who committed a double murder in an armed robbery with a male accomplice
