Nailed it. And yet....their reply to you shows that they have indeed (still) missed the point. :/

That’s some bullshit excuse right there and EXACTLY the mentality that condones this violence. Cops absolutely “have that luxury.”

I get that sexual assault is a crime and theft is also a crime, but COME ON - can we stop it with the analogies already? (Not you personally, but the guy you were talking to). Newsflash: I’m not a wallet or a car, I’m a human being.
