In a recent statement made on Facebook and
on its web site
The RINJ Foundation is asking the question, "Should Men Be
Cops?" following a recent spate of victim blaming episodes around the
world which coincidentally followed dozens of criminal charges being
brought against cops for rape.
"Among the the more notable charges brought against
cops are two
cases in New York City while hundreds of cases around the world get
little attention. This is a very much under-reported subject. The statement notes that "Some women are saying, "Men must not be cops. That now must be a woman's job". "Cops are raping women using guns and knives. "Other cops appear to cooperate in a campaign of victim blaming.
"Toronto cops say don't dress "slutty" as Brit coppers
say don't drink if you don't want to be raped. Do not trust a male cop.
