This is exactly what we mean when we talk about Black and brown missing people not receiving the same attention or urgency. Her family reported her missing to @LVMPD immediately and were told she “wasn’t a priority.” A missing person should always be a priority.
I once sat with a girl who told me she had been raped.
She had gone to spend the night at her boyfriend’s house, & he spiked her drink.
She woke up to signs of sexual assault — confused, scared, & hurt.
I told her we could go together to make a police report.
I sat beside her as the officer said things like:
‘You shouldn’t have gone over there.’
‘You shouldn’t have stayed the night.’
‘You shouldn’t have accepted a drink.’
‘You shouldn’t have been drinking alcohol at all.’
Every word he said was about what she did wrong — not about what was done to her.
I corrected him. I told him that none of the choices she made were her fault.
None of this was her fault.
He was the one who drugged and assaulted her. It’s not ok to say it’s her fault. He was shocked and mumbled well “no”
Instead of taking her report with professionalism, without judgment, without bias — he made her feel blamed.
She left without filing charges.
This is how rape culture persists
I DO NOT want self-driving cars.
I DO NOT want humanoid robots.
I DO NOT want Al in every app I use.
I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want a habitable planet.
They learned to do women's nose jobs, breast implants, bbl, lengthen legs, hair extensions, eyelashes and nails, remove hair all over the body with laser, do artificial tanning, cut out the labia majora, but they still haven't invented a cure for endometriosis
A rapist won't be given a forced vasectomy but a rape victim will have to grow, carry & birth a baby against her will. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. https://t.co/z6kdbX6BUk
