Hardly - Your the one trying to convince me that rape isn't a priority and that women aren't important.

As I've said before, and as your ignored whenever I said it, rape should be investigated to the full extent. The fact is that there isn't much that can be investigated. Minus taking the statements of the victim and collecting dna evidence, there isn't a whole lot to be done.

Police will do their jobs. It's just that some crimes have less investigative work that can be done.

And never did I say that collecting evidence is to hard - The police collect whatever evidence in available. Some crimes don't leave a lot to collect though.
