re: 'He's still not even coming!' NOPD officer stood by during French Quarter rape

Sorry, this story really upsets me. It's pretty horrible. And I am having trouble accepting the fact people would be so quick to act like this is made up and could have never happened in lovely New Orleans... in the French Quarter of all places. The violent crime in New Orleans (and Louisiana) is one of the main reasons I moved.

My favorite part is that a large group of tourists stood by and watched a dude rape an unconscious woman. The first coverage of this story didn't mention anything about any of them rendering aide to the woman. It just said they basically shrugged their shoulders and walked away from the scene.

The original coverage of this story mentioned the woman's name and told what state she was from. Now, she fears retribution and wants anonymity.

That is, of course, if this is the same story about police turning a blind eye to the rape of an unconscious woman and that rape being reported by a woman.

I also like that she almost immediately went to Twitter with the story. Again, if these are the same cases.

A liberal white woman called the cops and said there was a rape. It must be true

What makes you think she's a liberal?

This thread is fake news

It does not surprise me one bit that you of all people are denying this happened in New Orleans

What exactly do you mean when it’s your “favorite part” and you “like that”?

I find it humorous and a bit hypocritical that a "large group" left a bar, saw a guy raping an unconscious woman, and ultimately chose to do frick all to stop it. I find it even funnier (in an I can't believe the shite sort of way) that they are now raising hell about the police not doing anything when they could have stopped it.

By all means, all of you in that group, stand there and watch a woman get raped, but don't you dare inconvenience yourselves by trying to help the unconscious woman. Best to take clear mental notes so you can tweet about it later.

Agreed that someone should have stepped in and tried to stop this rape. We don’t really know what the circumstances were though.

What we know is that a woman called 9/11 to report it happening and the dispatcher asked her to prompt the policeman nearby who didn’t respond. It’s the cops job to respond.

When citizens lose confidence in those who’s job it is to protect them, civilization unravels

That’s what we’re seeing in New Orleans

I pay taxes to get that protection.

Bystanders should not even need to be in a position to stop something like a rape.

Great post!

I read where New Orleans has seen +100 cops leave the force in less than 60 days. It's so bad that the Mayor canceled a planned international trip in order to stay home and address the issue. Yet people want to point fingers at bystanders for not taking matters into their own hands while a NO cop in close vicinity of the incident sits on his arse wouldn't do his job.

You have been misled, amigo, we all have.

Public Integrity Bureau Investigation has been closed.
The person the woman reported the rape to, wasn't an NOPD officer. It was an off duty deputy constable that she spoke with prior to calling 911.

1st NOPD officer was on the scene within 180 seconds of her 911 call.

The chief said that the initial 911 call was received at 11:21 p.m., with the first officer on scene arriving three minutes later at 11:24

just a minor detail she got wrong. im sure the rest of her story is legit though.

The OP should be updated and corrected since it wasnt a NOPD officer
