A woman who claims she was raped by members of Duke University's lacrosse team was described as "just passed-out drunk" by one of the first police officers to see her, according to a recording of radio traffic obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.
The conversation between the officer and a police dispatcher took place about 1:30 a.m. March 14, about five minutes after a grocery store security guard called 911 to report a woman in the parking lot who would not get out of someone else's car.
The black woman, a 27-year-old stripper and college student, told police she was raped and beaten by three white men around midnight at an off-campus party thrown by Duke's lacrosse team. The racially charged allegations have led Duke to cancel the highly ranked team's season and accept the resignation of its coach.
Which was should this story be commented on....
Why was everyone so quick to judge and punish the white kids?
What should happen to the stripper if they can prove she made up the story?
Those are my two questions...See, kids of today understand that we live in a country of lawyers and lawsuits. Everyone is afraid to be sued, so commons sense is almost never applied anymore...
Kids make up stories about superiors and people they don't like all the time.
I know of a time in Milwaukee that some girls made up a story about a teacher they didn't like. Luckily they had lied so much in the past nothing was done...but what if the school was run by spineless or scared administrators?
Is there any way to stop this from happening all the time?
Maybe, start punishing people who make up these stories.
They ruin people's lives, and they cast doubt on any real case of rape or other assault.

We are too quick to draw guilty conclusions these days. Remember former Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin had the same sort of charge thrown at him by a stripper looking for publicity. It turned out to be false. By he was tried and convicted in the press.
The prosecutor in the Duke case is running for re-election.
EH pointed out a great stat: the DA is up for re-election. He is going to go five billion times harder on something this high profile. On top of it, he keeps wording shit to draw suspicion on the players cuz they refused to talk to police
Holy Fucking Shit! Are you kidding me? Another example of law enforcement wanting to limit our civil liberties.
