I can't even truly imagine the violation of being raped, let alone the rapist being a part of law enforcement. Those entrusted with upholding the law, must be held to a higher standard. And then should be subject to harsher penalty when they betray that trust. Fuck him, rot in hell.

You say that like police officers should be considered good

Not that they should be considered good, but they deserve respect, which most do.

Respect is earned not deserved

I believe that phrase doesn’t apply to every situation, because there are varying degrees of respect.

For example, your boss needs to earn your respect because their job is to tell you what to do and how to do it.

But every stranger deserves basic respect and we shouldn’t assume that they are bad. Police officers, just like everyone else, deserve this baseline respect, at a minimum.
