'Bitch, You Should Get Raped': Pro-Police Demonstrators Hurl Racist Slurs, Attack BLM Protesters In

A pro-NYPD rally in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn quickly devolved into physical attacks and racist, sexist language insults hurled at a group of counter-protesters on Saturday morning, reports Gothamist.

Roughly two dozen protesters against police brutality and systemic racism showed up at Bay Ridge Parkway and 13th Avenue to counter a demonstration of hundreds of protesters supporting the NYPD.

One counter-protester said he was sent to the hospital after he was hit in the groin during an altercation.

“No interference with their pro-cop rally had occurred. We were all consolidated on one corner for the most part,” Noah Weston, a Bay Ridge resident who went to the hospital after he was beaten in the groin, told Gothamist. “No chanting had started … They just immediately started screaming at us.”

The negatives against Black Lives Matter are also applicable to Blue Lives Matter.

The only difference?

The color.

when the first thing rape victims hear from police is that we deserved to get raped for made up reasons they pull out of their ass. Anyone who has ever actually been raped knows that the first place you start hearing the victim blaming and victim shaming after being raped is from the police. To those of you lucky enough to have never been raped, know this. The police will NOT help you. They will shame you and blame you and you will never get justice. They will find a way to wiggle out of doing anything to help you. They will work to rub salt in the wounds and shut you up as fast as possible. Ask rape victims what it is like. I'm not the only one that knows this. Some of us have been talking in support groups and other places. We have been comparing notes. Cops were no help to us and very few of us ever get justice. Cops do not consider rape a crime, in reality. Cops are pro-rape. They are threatening women with rape, because they know rape victims are never listened to and women lucky enough to have never been raped still believe cops will be any help after.
