In reply to the discussion: Did Mitt Romney rape anyone that he pulled over when impersonating a cop? [View all]RZM
(8,556 posts)And not robbery? I find this rather odd.
I don't have data on this (who knows if it's readily available). But it seems logical to me that far more police officer impersonation cases involve property crime and not rape or murder, mainly because crimes like robbery, theft, larceny, auto theft, burglary etc. vastly outnumber rapes and murders combined.
Impersonating a police officer is one way to kill people or rape them. But it's just as good a way to hit the local drug spot, perform a home invasion, or pull someone over and rob them. The possibilities for robbery here are numerous.
It's strange to me that people jump immediately to rape and serial killing when the notion of impersonating a police officer comes up.
For the record I don't believe Romney has ever raped or killed anybody. And he's probably never robbed anybody either (at least not outside of his official capacity at Bain).
This just looks silly. Nothing wrong with talking about the uniform story. But it's very odd to then jump straight to positing that he used it to commit murder or sex crimes.
Kind of reminds me of this onion video:
