"Gawd" was the least of my reaction. I personally concluded that that police chief is likely destined for the First Round of the Seventh Circle right downstream from the rapist, as a tyrant, boiling in blood up to his eyebrows.

The police chief is not only a tyrant, he is an arrogant fool. He belongs in the First Round of the Seventh Circle, as you said. Anyone who would deny a woman the right to protect herself from a rapist belongs there. As a resident of California, I am unable to get a carry permit, but I cam and do carry a nice little folder. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.
