That’s when a federal appeals court rejected the city’s attempt to dismiss the case and said police “might as well have released her into the lions’ den at Brookfield Zoo” when they ignored frantic calls from Eilman’s parents and allowed the young woman to leave without assistance in the high-crime neighborhood.

It is of the “if only the lazy police had … “. The various “if only”s would lead to suits galore. Keeping a girl in custody for her own safety? Taking her to the hospital and the article would as what makes police psychiatrists. Assuming suggestive clothing would automatically incite black guys to rape, is in the Gloria Allred wheelhouse.

What stupid analyses!
