"Just say no"
"Just fight back"
She did
But when she finally was able to fight, she was convicted.
This world doesn't care about its women and AFAB people. Especially America's WOC. Over a 1,000 Indigenous women are missing. They aren't just someone's family, girlfriend, and or a friend. They are human beings. There are many cases like these, violence against women and other AFABS have lasted for centuries. This cycle of hatred and abuse needs to stop.
Remember 97%.

It’s official: the British public hates the police
“It seems incredible to think that as recently as December 2019, 77% of people in the UK felt that the police were doing a good job; 57% trusted them to tackle crime and 41% viewed the Met as non-racist. Today, the force’s net approval rating is just five points, down from 60 four years ago. Much has happened in the interim – not least the explosion of the Black Lives Matter and Kill The Bill movements – but still, it is hard to overstate how vertiginously Britons’ faith in the police has plummeted in less than half a decade.
“The decline has been steady but consistent, beginning during the first Covid-19 lockdown. Yet it was the horrific kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard by serving police officer Wayne Couzens in March 2021 that really accelerated the police’s fall from favour. Over the year following Everard’s murder, approval for the police dropped from +44 to +14. As more police scandals surfaced – such as the strip searching of Child Q and the sexual assaults committed by Met Police Officer David Carrick – the force’s approval declined further, and then dropped again following the Casey Review.
“Unsurprisingly, public confidence in the police’s attitude towards BAME people and women has dropped particularly sharply, as has these groups’ own faith in the police. Voters now view the Met Police as institutionally racist, and have little confidence in the police to tackle sexual assault. A year before the murder of Sarah Everard, 55% of women felt the police were not treating reports of sexual assault seriously enough; by the end of March 2021, 7 in 10 women felt this way; that figure has remained largely the same ever since.”

Sarah Everard’s story will give me nightmares until the end of my time.
No, you never let a male cop put you handcuffs and take you off in his car. By himself.
You demand another woman cop there. And also another several cops and a lawyer.

Met police found to be institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic | Metropolitan police | The Guardian
"The report by Louise Casey, commissioned by the Met after one of its officers abducted Sarah Everard, taking her from from a London street in March 2021, before raping and murdering her, is one of the most damning of a major British institution."
File under "in news that surprises no one"...

Officers staged unwarranted stops of women in an abuse of power known as “booty patrols”, with crimes such as sexual assault covered up and ignored along with large-scale harassment of female officers and members of the public.
The report published on Wednesday from His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) for England and Wales was ordered after the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard in March 2021 by a serving Metropolitan police officer, Wayne Couzens.
It details senior officers pursuing women for sex, the watching of pornography on duty and misogynistic comments about crime victims and the public.
The report lists a decade of warnings to police chiefs after past serious sexual assaults and abuses of power by serving officers, with the inspectorate finding that chiefs were “complacent” and failed to appreciate “the danger to the public”.
Officers were cleared to join after “committing offences such as robbery, indecent exposure, possession of controlled drugs, drink-driving and domestic abuse-related assaults”, the report found.
[...]
Every female police officer and staff member spoke to told of harassment and, in some cases, assaults.
[...]
This report follows one last month by Lady Casey into the Met’s discipline system that found shocking failures, corruption and cover-ups far greater than previously admitted. It led the Met’s commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, to say that hundreds of racist, women-hating and corrupt officers have been left in the ranks of his force alone.

“ According to the PSNI, 26 officers are suspended amid allegations of sexual misconduct.” Societies are not going to make any real progress on combating Violence Against Women until they restructure and retrain their law enforcement.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has published its first ever action plan aimed at reducing violence against women and girls.
It commits the police to "relentlessly pursuing perpetrators" and rooting out inappropriate behaviour in their ranks.
Between 2017 and 2021, 34 women and girls across Northern Ireland were killed by men.
The Women's Aid Federation Northern Ireland welcomed the plan but said that action was also needed from Stormont.
Sarah Mason of Women's Aid said: "This is an historic day for all women and girls in Northern Ireland, finally bringing Northern Ireland into line with the rest of the UK."
A domestic abuse survivor from County Down, Jenny Hunter, said that the night she separated from her husband in August 2017 was the first she was physically attacked by him.
However, she said he had previously thrown beer around her, smashed vases and kicked and punched holes in walls.
Ms Hunter said there had been tension that day and she had texted him earlier warning him not to cause any trouble.
"He had come home that night after being out for a few drinks," she added.
"He had gone to look into my phone and came into the bedroom and said: 'That's trust for you', because I had changed the password and he couldn't get into it."
Ms Hunter told BBC News NI she remembered her children "squealing" as her husband forced her into their bedroom.
"He was sitting on my chest and put his two hands around my throat and told me that he was going to kill me, that I had drove him to this and asked me was I ready to die and it was my fault."
Ms Hunter said she was shocked and believed she was going to be killed.
"All I could think was that the children were going to be in the house while this happened and what was going to happen to them."
Jenny said her neighbours rang the police and that she and her former partner have been separated since that night.
The PSNI said that on 22 March 2018, Jenny's perpetrator was sentenced to 18 months probation.
It said he then went on to abuse his next partner and was sentenced to 10 months in prison on 11 March 2020 for offences against her.
The PSNI said women and girls were "disproportionately affected" by violence, abuse and intimidation, accounting for 78% of all victims of sexual crimes and 68% of victims of domestic abuse.
Chief Constable Simon Byrne described the publication of the plan as "a watershed moment".
He said the 40-page plan makes addressing the issue a "top priority".
'Bettering our own culture'
An advisory group is being established to oversee the progress of the PSNI's plan over the next two years.
The murder last year of Sarah Everard in London by a Metropolitan Police officer brought the issue to the fore in the UK.
It also damaged trust and confidence in policing among women and girls.
Mr Byrne said part of the plan involved "bettering our own culture", acknowledging that officer behaviour has "at times fallen short of public expectation".
According to the PSNI, 26 officers are suspended amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
Under the new plan vetting processes will be reviewed.
All frontline officers will also receive specialist training in dealing with domestic abuse incidents, which in Northern Ireland occur at a rate of one every 16 minutes.
Other action includes improving the quality of investigation files for prosecutors and prioritising the arrest of people wanted for offences involving violence against women and girls.
Sex education should be part of strategy to end violence against women
Violence against women: Men and boys urged to speak out
Domestic abuse strategy needs 'combined effort'
There will also be a new media campaign to raise awareness of drink spiking.
Mr Byrne said: "To effectively tackle complex societal issues like this we need everyone to actively champion the change that is needed.
"Policing can't end violence against women and girls on its own.
"For this to really work, to really make a change for all women and girls, we need to work in partnership with all parts of society," he added.

Women's right activist: 'We're losing people - this is a real epidemic'
Women's rights activist Patsy Stevenson says that there's an epidemic of violence against women in the UK, and that promises to tackle it often turn out to be empty after incidents leave the headlines.
Ms Stevenson said that speculation into the death of Epsom College head Emma Pattison and her daughter was 'really damaging', and the onus was often placed on the female victim in similar cases.

Surely, surely anyone with even a few brain cells can see how fucked up our country is right now?
Boris can have drinks parties in number 10 every weekend, but go out and protest the death of a women at the hands of the police.
Fascist fucking regime.
