Police officers shouldn't be responding to rape calls if the suspect runs away, Minnesota AG Keith Ellison [D] says
The Blaze ^ | July 23, 2020 | Aaron Colen

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said it would be better to not have police officers responding to rape calls in situations when the rapist has already fled, according to The Federalist.

Instead, Ellison suggests, it is preferable to have a social worker trained in interacting with rape victims respond to such a call. In making his point, Ellison dismisses police officers as people who are simply trained in how to use guns.

"If you're a woman who's been a victim of a sexual assault, and the assailant ran away, wouldn't you rather talk to somebody who is trained in helping you deal with what you're dealing with, as opposed to somebody whose main training is that they know how to use a firearm? Right?" Ellison said on a virtual panel with PBS's Yamiche Alcindor and California Democratic Rep. Karen Bass.

Ellison's comments are similar to rhetoric that has surrounded efforts to defund or dismantle police departments in liberal localities. The idea is that police officers shouldn't be responding to things that could conceivably be handled more effectively by social workers or other unarmed officials, in order to minimize the potential for unnecessary violent conflicts that can lead to police killings.

Applying that to mental health crises or minor traffic stops carries its own problems, but applying it to the violent crime of rape is even more controversial and potentially dangerous.

Also, Ellison's description of police as nothing more than people who know how to use guns is inaccurate and indicates a narrow way of viewing police that is potentially fueling anti-police rhetoric. Police officers are trained to respond capably to a variety of situations that don't require the use of firearms, including sexual assaults.

Rape ‘n Run now okay in a Minnesota.
Exactly what one would expect from a Jesuit educated Jihadi.

So, rapists are now being told that if they run away they are home free. What next, don’t send a cop to a murder scene if the murderer has fled the scene?

Keith Ellison is the leader of an American 5th Column. Phil Haney was investigating Keith’s ties to terror organizations before he was killed...

No wonder guns and ammo sales are at record highs.

When a Muslim roses a Christian women, Islam considers the baby Muslim. This is part of how Muslims take over “pagan” countries

Buy firearms and plenty of rounds. They will be needed.
