Captain George Brown : "If you don't wanna get raped by cops, don't get pulled over in the first place..."
In yet another case of victim-blaming, an Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer and an Oklahoma City Police officer have been accused of repeatedly raping women in recent months. Just last week, a Tulsa County sheriff's deputy was arrested for sexually assaulting a woman after responding to a 911 call. So, what did Captain George Brown have to say about all of this? What were his words of wisdom to women? He lent KJRH (and women everywhere) this piece of advice:
"He [the captain] says the best tip that he can give is to follow the law in the first place so you don't get pulled over."
There we have it. If a woman gets raped by a cop, it's really her own fault for getting pulled over in the first place. What Captain Brown is essentially saying is this:
"Girls, ladies, the women, or whatever you call yourselves anymore, look - as officers of the law, while it's our job to protect the people from law-breakers and arrest those that break the law, we aren't subject to these same kinds of rules. So, I mean, if you do 55 in a 45 and we pull you over for it - for breaking the law - then, well, we may break the law too, especially if our wives aren't giving us any back home. That's the way of the law and the law is the law, except for us. So, yeah, don't get pulled over and you won't get raped. It's as simple as that."
With that kind of logic, expect Captain Brown to utter the following words of advice at some point:
- "Mexicans, if you don't want us to try deporting you back to Mexico, then stop it with those Speedy Gonzales accents. If you don't use that accent, we won't suspect you're Mexican and try sending you back to where you belong. Capiche?"
- "Muslims, I'm not racist or whatever you want to call it, but you scare the hell out of me. I pretty much know, I mean think, or think I know, that you're all terrorists. So, if you don't want us to send you in for questioning with the FBI because we think you're with al Kiki or ISM or something or another, then cut it out with those Muslimmy outfits you got going on there. Go to the GAP or something! Geez!"
- "The blacks, you always complain that we're targeting you or something. That's not true! All you need to do is stop wearing those hoodies, baggy pants, stop putting your hands in your pockets, even if it's 20 degrees outside, and not hang around a bunch of other black kids. Also, don't dress up too nice, drive a nice car, listen to music loudly, or at all, and if you could, just don't be so dark. I guarantee, if you do all of that, we won't follow you around so much with our trigger fingers ready. Is that really too much to ask?"
