“Go ahead, call the cops - they can’t un-rape you.”
This video was discovered and posted online by a lawyer who was dealing with a car accident that the officers from Austin Police Department had attended.
Officer A: Either that, or, you'd think that because we'd turn a blind eye towards everything.
Officer B: Or that.
Officer A: ***** who cares.
Officer B: Or that. It could be that.
Officer A: I want to report a robbery! You probably deserved it.Officer A: Look at that girl over there.
Officer B: Go ahead and call the cops. They can't unrape you.
Officer A: You didn't turn your camera off, did you?
One of the officers is then seen walking in front of the police vehicle.
This is after the first officer, seemingly trying to distance himself from the conversation, is heard saying: "Are you insinuating something? Are you done?"
The Austin Police Department has validated the video/audio publicly released pursuant to the Texas Open Records Act. The officers in the video/audio have been identified as Austin Police officers. Upon learning of the video's contents, the Department immediately launched an internal investigation. The investigation will include a comprehensive audit of the involved officers' contacts with victims of sexual assault to ensure the actions taken during the contacts meet the expectations of the Department, the public and most importantly, the victims. Upon conclusion of the investigation, the Department will take appropriate corrective action. APD extends a heartfelt apology to all victims of sexual assault. The comments made by the officers are contrary to the long-standing commitment of the Department to bring compassionate justice to sexual assault victims.
