Sexual assault by law enforcement has been a problem in Oklahoma of late, with three different officers being arrested recently for on-duty sexual misconduct. Oklahoma women are understandably a bit anxious about the threat of being mistreated during a traffic stop, but Captain George Brown of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol has a helpful tip for anyone who’s worried: If you just “follow the law in the first place” so you don’t get pulled over, you have nothing to worry about! That’s awesome to know, because I’m pretty sure no one has ever been pulled over for a tail light that’s out or a routine drunk-driving check. Or for no reason at all. But why dig into the root of the problem when we can issue inane advice about how women shouldn’t have gotten themselves into the situation in the first place?
Brown’s alleged advice to Oklahoma women is quoted by an anchor during local news station KJRHs coverage of the most recent arrest, and his words of unwisdom follow closely on the heels of “but what was she wearing?” and “maybe women just shouldn’t drink in public or they’re just asking for something bad to happen” in terms of victim-blaming for sexual assault. Just follow the law and you’re safe from police rape (unless you aren’t), and if you did break the law, I guess having a cop force you into the back of his patrol car is just what you should have expected! I can’t imagine his advice to just not get pulled over was well received by the dozen-plus victims assaulted and mistreated by the three officers arrested in the past month. Sorry, ladies, if you just hadn’t been speeding then maybe this wouldn’t have happened to you.
While teaching news viewers what they are supposed to be doing to avoid having a police officer rub his dick on their face, Brown doesn’t mention what sorts of efforts, if any, are underway to teach police officers about the role they might, perhaps, be able to play in keeping themselves from raping someone. I’ve taken the liberty of compiling a list of tips of my own for any law enforcement officials who are worried that they might perhaps get into some hot water one day for sexually assaulting, molesting, or otherwise harassing citizens while on duty:
1. You probably shouldn’t be a police officer if this is something you find yourself thinking about a lot.
2. You probably shouldn’t even be a citizen. Consider leaving polite society and becoming a hermit, where the possibility that you will rape someone during a traffic stop is approximately zero.
3. If you must be a police officer, just don’t pull people over.
4. If you must pull someone over, don’t rape them. This is not difficult. Billions of people manage to interact with each other every day without raping one another. You can do it, too.
I don’t expect my helpful rape prevention tips to get a lot of traction in Oklahoma, where a fundraising campaign for one of the arrested officers made $7,000 before getting shut down by undoubtedly horrified GoFundMe admins, and where Brown’s victim-blaming advice was cheerfully received and parroted by the local news anchor. But “just don’t get yourself into the situation” is too often the advice on preventing rape. It’s time to change the conversation.

yep, that’s me ‘useless’
Sometimes one does want to rev it up on the red line but then one remembers the ‘blue line’. LOL ... she’s gonna blow.
” Would you prefer LE not arrest the
offending officers? Just wondering”
What we prefer is cops actually getting policed. That isn’t happening, because people like you think a badge makes a person above suspicion. And because cops are actively hostile to any accountability. Being a cop is not a blank check of trust.
I see not one reason cops can’t be expected to do their job while under critical and watchfull eyes. That is the world the rest of us live in.
So a woman shouldnt be able to shoot someone trying to rape her?
you don’t live on this planet, do you? You have never worked in LE, have you?
now, you know I didn’t say that. LOL ... Of course there is the burden of proof. Personally I’d hide the firearm till semen was spilled. Then ... BANG! LOL ... this is becoming more hilarious by the moment.
So had do you tell a “good LE” from a “bad LE” as you are being pulled over?
you can’t, so if had not lost all my firearms in that boating accident, I would always have had one on the front passenger seat and a back up, just in case. But alas, all my firearms are gone. They be sunk.
Well, that is what I would advise also. BTW, they are still selling firearms at many places in this country. For now... Get rearmed!
okay, but I do love boat rides.
If you cover or protect a criminal family member, you ARE a criminal.
LE does not deserve, nor get automatic trust and support. Society has noted this arrgance among cops, where they think they are above scruitiny. Cops now argue as you do. Anyone who questions a cop is a criminal.
yep, is simple ... A criminal is a criminal is a criminal.
oh but please question me all you wish ... I am not a Police Officer.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH.
“Yep,just like the military.-——loyal to each other.”
When I was in the military we never covered up crimes to protect each other.
We were loyal to each other in support of the mission and on daily lives. If you screwed up then you WOULD face the consequences.
pretty simple to see you do not have a point to make so keep it going ... LOL
So as long as the cop doesn’t ejaculate or the semen is at least kept in a condom its ok?
Since this story is about the 3rd OK cop arrested for raping a woman the scenerio isn’t all that far fetched, or humerous.
You are an example of what is wrong. You’ll excuse anything.
Well said.
That which police-worshippers call “loyalty” is the same “loyalty” criminal gangs require of their members-—don’t ever turn a brother in for his crimes.
It’s the same mantra the corrupt have favored throughout history.
And its supporters never learn.
yep, that's a terrible rule ... Let's get rid of that one.
you don’t remember ... penetration is detectable as is DNA ... Want to try again?
