“Don’t submit” he said
“Get streetwise instead.
“Educate yourselves
it will save all this mess.”
Words
misplaced and empty
thrown flippantly
to wash the blame away.
Interesting concept;
manipulating the finger
of a murdered woman
to point back at herself.
But then,
why change the habit
of all lifetimes known to man
instead,
allow it to fester in our social systems.
Advice straight in from the Met:
Ladies don’t fret,
If a plain clothes officer attempts arrest
and you’re concerned he‘s a sexual threat
– just wave down a cab or bus for protection.
NEWS FLASH
Are you a driver for Uber or National express?
Updates to job descriptions!
Patrolling for police rapists is now essential. No extra training needed.
Hang on.
Here’s an idea..
Wouldn‘t it be great
if the police service
and the government
just did their job instead?
Set the standards
commit to change
and actually showed it in their actions.
Prioritise duty of care
Over reputations
Protect the public
over sexual predators.
But instead
we have
A Culture,
that stole her future.
Blind eyes and camaraderie.
Red flags manipulated.
Ripped rags of a warning.
Risk ignored, again.
Underestimated
downplayed
excuses made
nicknamed
“The Rapist”
A joke to them,
but not to Sarah.
And still no change.
