The Bee's Knees

The thing about the Karen Read trial is that when I first heard about it I was like “I hope they acquit her because I think women should be allowed to back over their cop boyfriends.” and then I dug into it and realized she genuinely was framed and she was framed by complete dumbasses and if she wasn’t a middle class, college educated, home-owning white woman, they would have gotten away with it and they’ve probably done this to people who could not afford to defend themselves. Then I learned about Sandra Birchmore and the other acts of heinous misconduct and violence committed by the Canton PD and I almost wished it was just a woman killing her fundamentally unlikable cop boyfriend and not open season on girls and women in Canton, Massachusetts. God, what a scary place to live and what a sickening rabbithole to go down.

too much of law enforcement is men with grudges protecting men they see themselves in from consequences. we only really hear about this phenomenon when it comes to rich people because their cases are more high profile (see: #metoo in hollywood, epstein files) but regular women just kind of have to accept the fact and move on lol because only money can save you in such circumstances
