I'd like to report a mugging
Man:
Hello, I'd like to report a mugging.
Officer: A mugging, eh? Where did it take place? Man: I was walking by 21st and Dundritch Street and a man pulled out a gun and said,
"Give me all your money."Officer: And did you? Man: Yes, I co-operated. Officer: So you willingly gave the man your money without fighting back, calling for
help or trying to escape?Man: Well, yes, but I was terrified. I thought he was going to kill me! Officer: Mmm. But you did co-operate with him. And I've been informed that you're quite
a philanthropist, too.Man: I give to charity, yes. Officer: So you like to give money away. You make a habit of giving money away. Man: What does that have to do with this situation? Officer: And that's what you were wearing? That suit? While walking down
Dundritch Street at that hour?Man: Of course it is. What could that possibly have to do with the crime? Officer: You practically screamed at the guy, "I have money for you." Man: Are you kidding me with this? He had a gun, and forced me to give him my money. Officer: You knowingly walked down Dundritch Street in your suit when everyone knows you
like to give away money, and then you didn't fight back. It sounds like you
gave money to someone, but now you're having after-donation regret. Tell me,
do you really want to ruin his life because of your mistake?Man: This is ridiculous! Officer: This is a rape analogy. This is what women face every single day when they try
to bring their rapists to justice.Man: Fuck the patriarchy. 
I didn't write this, but I find it extremely important to share.

That is humorous.
Analogies can be a really effective way to make the point. It's just unbelievable that it's necessary to make that point when it should be so obvious. Good post.
amen. that is exactly how it is!
Powerful stuff! Good message that needs to get out there and heard!
I had this as a picture in my photos but it disappeared - I just put it back. Some of my other pictures had been made private somehow... This concerns me.
Also you forgot:
"Officer: Word."
At the end.
@agnophilo - that was not on this version. What officer says "word" anyway? LOL
The whole private photos used to happen to me on my old site a lot. They would just switch to private.
Very clever. I like this.
Sad that we are STILL HERE! 25 years ago when I was in college I heard the exact same story. Should not have we moved on? Do officers not have to take a rape class or training or SOMETHING?!?? Do they ever think about their sisters? their mothers?
Why are men such dicks?
Point made!
@MiDarkLyfe - My one brother's a cop, I should ask him his viewpoints on this. I've educated him a lot on mental health and how to approach people with mental health issues. He's not entirely deaf and dumb. Okay maybe a little dumb, but maybe I'm biased because I'm his sister. :P
