no harm, no foul, no problem! thank you for the apology!

theoretical, I am sorry you have had a bad experience with law enforcement. you are right not all cops are bad ones, most in fact are honest , hard working officers who want the most safest, positive response to their calls. not all would respond the way those officers did..

police officers take an oath to protect and serve. it's a shame you don't have faith in them, someday you might need to call for help and I would like to think in doing so the response team you get will be on top of their game.

I wonder when that incident happened...if it was recently or years back. I find it hard to believe that given the rape laws now any department would respond in that manner...a college police force years ago, maybe. (there are plenty of "urban myths" like that..NOT saying your friends incident was).

no one should ever feel they can not report an assault . no one. ever. it should be professionally handled and investigated to the fullest.
