A New Orleans police officer was flagged down late on a recent Tuesday night in the French Quarter by a witness who delivered a distressing message: A block away, she saw a man raping an unconscious woman in plain view on the street corner.

But over the next three minutes, the officer didn't budge, according to the witness, who was on the phone with 911. She grew increasingly frantic as the minutes passed, according to audio from the call.

“This officer hasn’t even moved!” the witness told the dispatcher. Another marked unit had already driven past the scene without stopping, she added.

According to her phone log, the woman first reported the crime to authorities at 11:19 p.m. July 26, near the intersection of Royal and Toulouse streets. The dispatcher had asked the witness to notify an officer the witness spotted parked in a nearby squad car, while she finished dispatching the call.

3. Maybe the officer figured if he stopped the rape he would be party to giving an abortion.

4. Maby the perp was a fellow cop.

5. Well

I would like to actually be surprised by this, I really would.

That I am not only fills me with anger and disgust.
