Come To Daddy
Be aware!
The next cop you meet may not be who you think he is, even with that shiny badge and nice smile on his face. Under the guise of helping you, he may have something else in mind—especially if you’re a teenage girl or have a young daughter in her teens.

This Washington Post article, Abused By The Badge, is a revelation—a disturbing exposé on law enforcement officers, including chiefs of police, whose sexual assaults on young or teenage girls go undetected for years.

This story sickens me. Much like the priests and preachers who abused thousands of children, authority and trust benefited the perpetrators and allowed them to commit unspeakable crimes. I'm happy photos were displayed, and I hope each and every one of these perps gets their comeuppance both in and out of prison, and I invite karma to have its way with them.
The Post should win an award for this exposé. It's so well done. Thanks for giving it exposure on this platform.

Evil wears many faces and sometimes, horrifically, it wears a badge. I hope those at The Post and Bowling Green State University who compiled this information will make this an ongoing project and keep it in the public eye. With a perpetual spotlight on them, maybe police departments won't hire people with prior convictions; officers who witness the abuse might report it; unions may consider evidence against accused cops before deciding to shield them, and lighter/suspended sentences against convicted officers might happen less frequently.
Then again, maybe I'm naive. Making the identities public seems to be the strongest deterrent against this abuse of power.
