Getting ready for all of the victim blamers (who are already on the boards)on this one. East Village woman goes out for drinks, becomes incapacitated and the cabbie calls 911 (why?) to get her some help. Probably help in shaking her down for a $4 fare. If you ask me, the cabbie was complicit.
Two cops arrive, help her into her apartment. She is clearly not able to consent. THe cops return, one rapes her. They return a THIRD time to return her key. Um, you mean, to clean up evidence? Seems this cop also had a "hit list" of women in his locker along with some heroin he had "forgotten" to turn in to the evidence room. So, they're both suspended with pay and he has not yet been arrested despite overwhelming evidence. This won't end well.
Good for her for reporting it and having a rape kit done. His defense attorney says "it's consensual". Yeah, right. Serve and protect, my ass. This reminds me of the movie "Internal Affairs". So much is wrong with this story, but this woman had the right to go out for drinks (and who is to say no one drugged her drink), to hail a cab and to get home safely. If it was a man, would we blame him? No.
UPDATE: sort of rookie Franklin Mata flipped on his 17-year vet partner Kenneth Moreno. Better late than never. Wonder if he watched. Wonder what kind of deal he's getting. Imagine if these were civilian? Now,it reminds me of "Copland".
