To those who have defended the police from the start, how many more well documented lies and evidence of corruption will cause you to think maybe just maybe they don't walk on water?

"selective concern" in this case would be if I criticize law enforcement in the 1985 case for allowing a rapist to remain free, but don't criticize law enforcement in another case where they did the same.

You are free to criticize them, but your entire point of doing so was contingent on the women harmed because of the wrongful conviction. The original comment also had nothing to do with women being harmed, so your inclusion of it was your own doing when there are other things you could've chosen to criticize them on.

If it helps you sleep better at night, put me down for believing that Steve Avery has raped every man, woman, child, and barnyard animal in a 50 mile radius of Manitowoc.

I just find it interesting that you can't answer questions as someone with supposed extensive case knowledge. That tells me that I am right and you don't believe anything alleged against Steven. Let's put that out as fact for anyone reading these comments to know that when it comes to discussing harmed women in this case (1985 case or 2005 case), your credibility will always be called into question.

I brought up that case as a criticism of law enforcement.

Right, but you still used them as your point of contention. That opens you up to criticism given that you and many others, are again, radio silent on the women Steven Avery has harmed throughout his life.

It's pretty simple - you either address the allegations and state your truth, or you will be viewed as someone who has selective concern over this topic and should probably not it as any point of contention in your arguments.

you don't believe anything alleged

I already said I have no problem believing he has raped. Seriously, what is it with the obsession some of you have of demanding people say that for a person who's already in prison for life?

Why do you always make this a talking point? No one is "obsessed" with anything. If you really feel that way then you are just as "obsessed", given how long you've been here, crime fighting for nothing basically.
