Actually, everyone can disagree with me. But I've seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. A good friend of mine worked with LAPD for some years, and she heard it from the officers there. There are cops who shouldn't be cops. There are cops who 'go with the crowd' of other cops. There are good cops who can't do anything because of the way the laws are written. Here in W. WA, there are so many junkies and thieves (and combinations thereof), that virtually nothing is done. The cops will arrest them if the victim catches them, and they are taken in, information collected, they're fingerprinted, told to show up in two weeks for arraignment, and turned loose. They never see the inside of a jail. Unless they shove a cop. Then it's SLAM, BAM, CLANK of the jail cell closing.

bLEEp, I am sorry that such a horrible thing happened to you. But it's been going on since mankind lived in caves. We humans like to think we're 'civilized', but after more than TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS, IT'S STILL HAPPENING!

And I'm damned tired of it continuing to happen to a large percentage of the population with nothing really done to stop it. Lots of people can do some jail time w/o much of a problem (3 hots and a cot, + a shower, TV and internet). If people really wanted to cut down on it (it will never be eliminated), castrate the guys that do it. I don't know what to do with the women, but I certainly wouldn't rule out a firing squad.
