in A Moving Train
This just makes my blood boil. I don't understand how these creeps think they can get away with this shit time and time again. A situation like this happened in my town a couple years ago when a cop was receiving oral sex from underage girls to let them out of trouble, threatening them with tickets ect. The cop was arrested and is now where he belongs, in jail.
I guess what really gets me is how common this seems to be.

Cops need better training and body cams for sure.

    "It's happening probably in every law enforcement agency across the country," said Chief Bernadette DiPino of the Sarasota Police Department in Florida, who helped study the problem for the International Association of Chiefs of Police. "It's so underreported and people are scared that if they call and complain about a police officer, they think every other police officer is going to be then out to get them."

    It's rape and should be charged as such.

    I think this guy in Oklahoma is going to be held accountable.

    Yet some officers have a issues/problems when women while being pulled over at night continue driving to a safe lighted area. One can never assume like most officers things....people are on the up and up.

    With all of the crazy police abuse stories out there, I find myself wondering if it would be wise to dial 911 during a traffic stop. I seem to remember some time ago that there was a rash of police impersonators pulling people over and shaking them down. People were advised to call 911 to determine if they were being stopped by an actual officer. I don't know if this would prevent all police abuse, but I would think it couldn't hurt to have a witness on the phone on the passenger seat that was recording the call and could send assistance if necessary. Thoughts?

    That sounds good to me....I have a daughter and I've told her to always take every precaution possible especially I being pulled over at night. Drive slowly to a lighted public area and if questioned by the officer as to why not to pull over immediately just tell him or her "I was concerned about my safety at night". Also one can put your phone on video record as well, one can never be too careful these days.

    That's actually an amazing idea. I believe that someone who gets pulled over, for their safety, should be able to request or call 911 and report that they are being pulled over and require some sort of witness. Or request to the officer that there be some sort of recording. They person can simply tell the officer that for their safety they called 911. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

    really ... if you are a female cop and you are being sexually assaulted ... what hope does the general public have ... the idea of police is great unfortunately the iteration of law enforcement as it stands now is a fallacy ...

    Excellent news that Holtzclaw has been found guilty.
    I read that sexual misconduct is the most pervasive form of police misconduct in America, hands down.
