The cops know how very well how to attack the vulnerable, the elderly, the deaf or plain innocent people and then claim
"they followed their rules and training" and also
"feared for their lives" but here we see how several police agencies failed a young woman who had contacted them multiple times about her harasser, a sex offender on parole who lied about his age and status. He killed her while she was talking to her parents on the phone.
Mom of murdered student blasts University of Utah policeCalling it an "unforgivable lapse of judgment and professional competency," the mother of slain University of Utah student Lauren McCluskey on Thursday blasted campus police for not taking her daughter's case seriously.
Jill McCluskey also called for the officers, whom she believes "failed" her daughter, "be held accountable for neglecting her numerous, persistent attempts to seek help, and be disciplined appropriately."
Lauren McCluskey met Rowland in September. At that time, Rowland lied about his name and age. In early October, she learned Rowland's true identity and discovered he was a registered sex offender who had been paroled from the Utah State Prison three times. On Oct. 10, Jill McCluskey called university police herself.
The McCluskeys said the fact that Rowland was a registered sex offender, was sending fake messages to their daughter to lure her outside, and that their daughter was scared of him, should have prompted U. police to treat her case as more than a simple extortion case.
But the family said that in a police report filed on Oct. 12 based on their daughter's phone call, an officer wrote, "I explained that without any threats or anything of a criminal nature that there isn’t much we can do."
Lauren McCluskey made many calls and sent emails to U. police between Oct. 13 and 19, her mother said. But because of their lack of response, she contacted Salt Lake police "out of desperation," hoping they might be able to do something. Salt Lake police could only refer her case back to the U. since the investigation was in the university's jurisdiction.
