I checked it out for the "you'd hit that" pic.

/left disappointing.

Yay society.

Her "boyfriend" is a piece of shiat.

Why couldn't she just grab a towel or a blanket or something, assuming that she was actually naked? Even the most traumatized person would go and grab something to wrap up in. Especially if she's standing around fighting with her boyfriend.

And if her boyfriend was really pissed and told her he was calling the cops, why wouldn't she just leave, or at least not be in the closet? What the hell was she doing in the closet???

This story is all kinds of farked up.

Lots of "blame the victim" going on in this thread.

This story makes no farking sense. That being the case, lets just blame the cop and be done with it.

I bet you do. Every woman you meet.

:)

You. I like you.

I blame everyone.

Yeah....story doesn't pass the smell test.

But at the same time, assaulting a 'victim' is a very poor choice of action.

Leaving the possible rape alone for a moment (since some of the details don't add up - admittedly, that could be due to bad journalism, but without further details I'm not willing to make the call either way), the cop still punched an unarmed, non-combative, distressed woman in the face and then bragged about it. What in the flying fark is wrong with American police officers?

Her story does seem a bit dubious.

But I can't think of a single legitimate reason for a police officer to handle a situation like with a punch to the face. That dude has some splainin to do.

Of course, PR-wise, the story doesn't get much better with a headline like "Rape Victim Tasered by Police" or even "Rape Victim Arrested for Trespassing". But at least then the officer might not actually be in the wrong.

FTA: "He just completely flipped out," Gibson said, claiming he was upset she was out all night without calling him.

Yeah, being knocked over the head, kidnapped and raped is no excuse not to call. What a biatch.

This reminds me of the time that aliens abducted me, drugged me, cashed my paycheck, gave me herpes and dumped me near Vegas.

serve and protect

FTA: From there, she said she walked to her boyfriend's home where she says she got into a heated argument with him.

"He just completely flipped out," Gibson said, claiming he was upset she was out all night without calling him.

Gibson said the boyfriend called police and reported that she broke into his home.

Unless there's something the writer is leaving out of the article, this makes absolutely no sense.

According to documents provided by Gibson to KSAT 12 News, an emergency room nurse wrote in a report the officer was bragging about hitting Gibson in the face.

The report stated, "the officer was talking about it in a proud manner that he hit her."

Protip: If you're going to belt a woman and claim reasonable force later, don't brag about it in a busy emergency room.

On the plus side, it's nice to see a cop who doesn't automatically resort to the taser. I like the traditional "hands-on" approach, myself.

Criminally douchebag cop trifecta in play already? Its only 2:15 am EST.

Methinks this couple may be of the crazy bipolar variety.

Is that what you did that time you were raped by two guys in a truck? Because you're first-hand experience would really help out her you stupid worthless piece of shiat.

serial_crusher: My money's on "she's crazy

Yup.

AverageAmericanGuy: Lots of "blame the victim" going on in this thread.

She's claiming that she was raped, then was knocked unconscious for several hours, then woke up in a landromat half a mile from her apartment, then walked home naked, got dressed, went to her boyfriends' place, who then called the cops on her for not calling him for a single night, and then the cops showed up and punched her in the face. While she was naked and hiding in a closet.

Does that SERIOUSLY sound like a likely chain of events? Or does it sound like the sort of bullshiat a crazy person would make up to justify acting crazy?

Loucifer: This reminds me of the time that aliens abducted me, drugged me, cashed my paycheck, gave me herpes and dumped me near Vegas.

How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not an alien and you already HAD herpes?

The cop is wrong, for so many obvious reasons. However, I'm not sure I completely believe her story, if it when down like she said it did. What rape victim, immediately gets naked, in front of a guy??? Even if it is her boyfriend, it takes months, sometimes years for a rape victim to get comfortable enough to be touched again, and this one got naked, what an hour or two after her attack, in front of her boyfriend?? Was she trying to prove to him she was attacked, by showing bruises? I don't buy it.

That's why you don't badger the officer to dimpa-size his meal for 25 more cents.


/Really, I'm first with this?

AverageAmericanGuy: Lots of "blame the victim" going on in this thread.

People keep repeating this like brainwashed parrots, but in some situations (and I'm not saying this one in particular) when you willingly do something stupid and end up getting hurt, yeah, you deserve a small part of the blame. If someone says "Hmm, I think it would be nice to take a midnight stroll through crack alley", their brain is defective. And I know someone's going to try and twist my words around so I'll clarify that yes, the aggressor still deserves 99% of the blame and of course, deserves punishment.

Just another example of how Hollywood is dangerous. It makes people believe that you can get tapped on the head, get knocked unconscious for several hours, and then just wake up and go on about your business. If you are unconscious from a head injury for more than a few seconds, you are farked. You are not likely to just get up and boogie on down the road.

Lafiel: Loucifer: This reminds me of the time that aliens abducted me, drugged me, cashed my paycheck, gave me herpes and dumped me near Vegas.

Well, what about the drugs and the paycheck....?

I was all ready to get outraged, then I read the story and was more like WTF. Then again, with head injury's and trauma, routine/normal behavior isn't exactly expected. I think I'll wait on the follow up to figure out whether the boyfriend/cops are POS or she's a nut.

/hopefully she's just a nut, wouldn't wish her story on anyone.

FTA:
Rebecca Gibson, who chose to reveal her identity to the public even though she is a rape victim.

Is this 1955? Is it a source of shame to be a victim of a crime?

The Green Manalishi: Methinks this couple may be of the crazy bipolar variety.

I also don't understand how the cop's report says she was intoxicated but the hospital didn't mention it in their brief report. The hospital report is also only a part of the subjective SOAP note because it starts with an incomplete sentence. "went back home, police were called" something doesn't add up, because it's not her home. It's the B/F's home. I think the only people here we can blame is the author



The woman also had to release those documents to the news station especially since her name, DOB and MRN are not redacted

Wasnt the last story on fark about the SA PD also somewhat fabricated?

im thinking money grab is in progress

If you read the article in reverse, it makes for a different kind of story, all together.

Somewhere along the lines between getting allegedly mugged, allegedly raped while she was unconscious, waking up naked, going to her home to get clothes and then going to her boyfriend's to get naked again, she got drunk.

Yeaaaaah, thinking the boyfriend called it.

Still doesn't warrant a cop popping her in the eye and bragging about it, though, that brave LEO.

Plenty of women feel degraded and humiliated by being victims of rape, so it's usually standard practice not to identify them in a journalistic context.

That said, I have to agree with others pointing out the very weird sequence of events as recorded. Raped, naked, getting clothes, then naked again, then called out by boyfriend, and beaten by police. It's just very odd, and it sounds like there are a lot of details missing or distorted here. The only thing that I can guess with any assurance is that the police kept screaming "STOP RESISTING! STOP RESISTING!" as she was being beaten.

biggyfred: I blame everyone.

fark you, you can't prove I was anywhere near the scene. I should punch you in the face.

/Yes, that was an attempt at a joke.
//Please don't punch me in the face.

I'm a Category One Douche for laughing at the caps in the headline.

/still giggling
//genuinely hopes she is okay

As some noted, naked, then clothed, then naked again....that and how head trauma that can make you lose consciousness for hours doesn't typically just vanish...

She's crazy or high, or both.

I do like the lynch mob mentality here on fark though.

Newsflash: Women lie, it is no longer an exclusive Ability of Man. Not all of them all of the time, but some do some of the time. Stay tuned after the commercial, we'll cover the developing story of this new and brilliant look at the justice system, titled "Innocent until proven guilty"

/cops could handle a situation better if there's a woman in the closet claiming rape(if that part was true)
//She was in a closet, presumably with clothes though..could have put some on..
