Lawyers working for the Met police told a detective who had been raped by a colleague that she could not have severe trauma because she was only attacked once.

What is the number of rapes needed for someone to have trauma? Is it two? Does that mean two little rapes is trauma, but not one big one? Is three rapes too much trauma?

Come on, Met Police, define your fucking line, you bastards.

(Also yes for those of you keeping score at home, there’s no such thing as a big rape or a little rape, it’s all just rape and this whole fucking premise is absurd. I am incredibly high on flu drugs and am trying to fight flu A, be gentle on me and all cops are bastards.)

High on flu drugs and no racist rants.. Woah! And also clarity! Woah!

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Clarity there was luck.

I've been doing some accidental cunkposting here and there.

The Ancient Greeks died out when they suddenly realized they were all made of marble, and stopped breathing and moving. They're still there, you can touch 'em and give 'em high fives, they like that, they smile inside. But outside they're dead. That's how you know. They got that "encased inside marble" bit about them that must be rough to live with.

Milk comes in many different forms: powdered, condensed, beef, and if one were to mix the three forms together, they would get six percent milk. I tried it once, it was a bit much, but I like ice cream and ice cream is even more milk and less water than that, so I think I just have to keep going with the whole enmilkening thing.

Are these cunk quotes or are these your creations? I can't tell them apart

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They’re mine, and thanks a lot!

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Holy fuck bruh! You should just be cunkposting

Someone should rape the Met police...just once so as not to upset them.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Huh? This is about an officer that was raped.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 40 points 3 days ago (2 children)

No, this was about an officer that was told her rape was "no big deal" because she was only raped once.

I suggested that her censors should try it once to see how much trama it causes them.

I'm willing to bet they ALL decline my offer.

Well, if they have the option to deny and they do agree, it's not rape.

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 days ago

Do you want me to rape you?

No!

Too fucken bad, that is why it is rape.....proceeds to the raping

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

I'm going for the trama.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Red hats dont hide who they are.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 20 points 3 days ago

That is insane, no one has a right to dictate how you may or may not feel.

Sounds like the lawyer needs to meet Bubba...

[–] nanometer1625@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 days ago

Well she's gonna win that lawsuit.

[–] exaybachae@startrek.website 10 points 3 days ago

Somebody should show them what that means.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

So she was raped and she's suing. Fair. More than fair. The other side has lawyers. Are they just supposed to agree with everything her side says? Every side deserves a defense, and unfortunately, when you take up the Plaintiff side in a case, people will refute your claims. The lawyers are just representing their client. They, in fact, don't even say anything, or what they say carries no weight legally. What they'll do is present the evidence, and evidence regarding her PTSD is presumably via testimony of some doctor who's saying no, she does not meet the criteria to be classified as whatever. And she'll have a doctor or two who say the opposite.

If it's worth being pissed at anyone, be pissed at the medical association who has set standards regarding severity of PTSD and criteria for meeting them. But that's dumb. Maybe let courts and juries come to decisions and not invest yourself in it.

I'm from the US; Jersey, in fact (New variety). Lots of suing around here. So much so you'll see articles, just like this one, that were clearly written by the Plaintiff's attorney, detailing facts and how their client deserves compensation! I am shocked how any of it is legal, I don't understand the purpose (beyond involving the public in a private matter). But I see it a lot.
