Police officers shouldn't be responding to rape calls if the suspect runs away, Minnesota AG Keith Ellison says

Many victims might disagree

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. 

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said it would be better to not have police officers responding to rape calls in situations when the rapist has already fled, according to The Federalist.

Instead, Ellison suggests, it is preferable to have a social worker trained in interacting with rape victims respond to such a call. In making his point, Ellison dismisses police officers as people who are simply trained in how to use guns.

"If you're a woman who's been a victim of a sexual assault, and the assailant ran away, wouldn't you rather talk to somebody who is trained in helping you deal with what you're dealing with, as opposed to somebody whose main training is that they know how to use a firearm? Right?" Ellison said on a virtual panel with PBS's Yamiche Alcindor and California Democratic Rep. Karen Bass.
