Two Oklahoma City Police Officers Arrested for DV Rape, Kidnapping, Within Months

Two different Oklahoma City officers were arrested, about six months apart, for very similar charges.

Both were domestic violence incidents. 

Officer Kitchens is said to have physically and sexually assaulted and threatened a woman with a gun in a car.

Officer Stark is said to have done all kinds of crazy things to another woman above and beyond allegedly raping and threatening her with a gun, including running over her foot with a patrol car, strangling her, and spitting gum in her hair.

I wish everyone a good day in court.

Both of these cases got me thinking about how stupid the whole "Believe Women" meme is.  It's all just so wrong-headed and doomed to fail.  Because it's another way of saying, "Women Aren't Liars."  And it isn't so much that they think we're lying.  It's that we have definitions of what's okay, what they're entitled to.  The whole gray area is like 80% of the world or more.

And even then it's just stupid.  It shouldn't be "Believe Women," because then men have all the choices, of whether to hold themselves accountable for their sexual violence or not.  Of course they're going to choose no.  Instead of "Believe Women," it should be "Men Are Liars"  Because that's why "Believe Women" fails:  Assume the woman is lying is a default setting.  Saying "Believe women" is asking people to work uphill in a passive way.  You're dealing with the fact that one of them is a liar, while leaving that fact unspoken.

Let's call it like it is.  Who lies about sex, men or women?  Men do.  Especially when they've raped somebody.  It's common sense.   And the more entitled they feel to the behavior, the more convincing their denials will be.

The person who doesn't want to face criminal charges always says, "I din do nuffin" at least ten times.  Watch every bodycam video.
