[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes a social worker will stop the rapists and robbers!![/quote]

Police are terrible at dealing with rape victims, and solving rapes. Heck, police are often rapists themselves: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/albertsamaha/this-teenager-accused-two-on-duty-cops-of-rape-she-had-no?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bffbsoml&ref=bffbsoml&fbclid=IwAR0S_1RgZTeIadOMkG1RiPqLPHcl0VvIsE5oh0nmjNLlDHgDxNmw4lHkK8U

Our current system does not work for rape victims, so threatening women with "what will you do about rapes?" isn't going to work. [/quote]

You still have not identified any other alternative to protecting women.  And saying "police are often rapists themselves" is bs. "Often"? really? show me some statistics and not some anecdote. [/quote]

Cops don't "protect women." They investigate after a crime, absolutely. That would still happen. But instead of expecting all restorative work to happen through the police or even the larger justice system, which it doesn't, reallocate some of that money to assist underfunded rape crisis centers and other community-based organizations that are equipped to handle it. But this notion of cops swooping in to stop a rape in progress is laughable. The closest you can come to that is the situation where the two students pulled Brock Turner off Chanel Miller. And people still, as PP said, put her through hell with all the "what did she do to deserve it" BS. So spare me the "what about rape victims" speech. No one gives a crap about them until they're a convenient argument. [/quote]
