They went to the property on their own, but the cop is the one who posted the video.

Reporters would never be epic assholes and just turn up at a rape victim's house like they're owed a story.

Kudos to the cop for shutting that shit down with some good old fashioned shaming instead of escalating.

Most newspapers don't name people who aren't charged; why did the cop post video of this incident, and not others?
