Imagine a police chief staring at a body with a knife in its chest, saying "well, murders don't happen here, so thiscan'tbe a murder."

You'd laugh at that right? Sounds like the start of a Fargo episode, right? He's clearly prejudging future cases based on past events, and making a caricature of himself in the process.

Now imagine this police chief has a girl walk in, clearly roughed up and bruised, and him saying "well, rapes don't happen here, so thismustjust be consensual sex that got too rough."

When you're the victim of a crime it doesn't actually matter what past statistics say. Each case has to be judged on its own merits.
He didn't say murders don't happen here. But yes, I would laugh at that. In fact, if he had said "sexual assaults don't happen here"--I'd probably be annoyed just like you. But unfortunately Mist, language doesn't magically change just because.

To compare it to murder, he'd have to say "Most of what we get out here in terms of dead bodies are natural causes or suicide. That has about as much to do with murder as rangling Ya'll!"...And if someone said that, I would think they were a red neck, I would not think they are dismissive of murder. But perhaps you can tell me why you have to change his language completely just to make a point. Or perhaps you canhighlight where he said rapes never happen here, or they can't happen here? Anywhere, Mist?

I'm going to need the numbers on goat-roping before I can really figure out how much real raping is going on in that guy's school.

"It doesn't happen here. It doesn't show up here."What subject do you think the pronoun "it" was referring to there, exactly? Do you even English, bro?

Yeah, you're right, lol, sorry reading on the train--was so focused on goat roping I didn't even process what he was saying, I assumed he was just spitting out anecdotes about the excuses people give for some reason. Bleh. Okay, yeah, that does make it more suspect to me.

Pretty sure the guy was saying that most of the sexual assault reports his department processes turn out to be regrettable consensual encounters, rather than violent-alone-in-the-dark-knife-to-throat-nightmares. You know, the kind of thing most people define as rape.

I'll make it easier for you, draw a diagram for me what those "it"s refer to here:

Can anyone find a record of the actual question this guy was asked? Or is this just another example of the media outrage machine?

Get raped.
Mist, I know being right on the internet is so important to you that you skulk away when you're dead wrong all the time. But I'm genuinely here to debate and learn--when I'm wrong, I don't mind admitting it, there is no profit in continuing a point "just to be right" (Usually I continue because I know I am). It's part of that whole "objectivity" and "rationality" that you dismiss as white male patriarchy; you should never be so ideological entrenched that you can't change your view. You, unfortunately are--and I honestly believe that hurts a lot of people, because it does create guys like that, who have become so pessimistic due to the false ideological fervor that they are now having a reactionary ideological mind set. You're silly if you believe this isn't going to get worse, and this is what most of us here are concerned about; we actually don't want things to get worse for real victims. Most of us aren't in this to be "right", we're in this to understand what batshit mind set has twisted things up to the point of being dangerous.

But hey, if it means that much to you, then you're right in this case. That's no skin off my back to say it.

LMAO it was one line fished out of a hours of interviews with cops and campus authorities about the insensitivity towards non-rapes and regret-rapes on campus.

Soooo much butthurt for a shard of real talk. The dude had to take an unpaid vacation but now he's back at work wading through all the allegations of day-after rapes, he-put-it-in-my-butt rapes and he-didnt-call-me-back rapes.

Uhhhh isn't the whole point of a fitness test to.... Discriminate?

There is nothing about that testing that a woman would be incapable of doing. What a load of horseshit.
