Italian Newspaper Reports Park Slope's Frustration With NYPD in BK Attacks

Well well well. Seems that a newspaper way over in Italy has picked up on reports that the NYPD is behaving in less than admirable ways toward Brooklyn women in response to the sexual attacks (to re-cap, one cop recently told a girl, "Your shorts are pretty short. Kind of showing some skin. Do you think that might make this guy angry, think he can get easy access?")

The only things I know how to say in Italian are "Eat," and "I have nothing." I sure as shit wasn't the one who found this article, so thanks to FiPS reader David who DID and was able to translate it for us!

"I was reading the Italian paper Corriere della Sera online this morning and saw this article.  Basically, it's about how there have been the sexual assaults in the neighborhood, but the focus in that there's been anger over the police response including advice not to wear skirts.  In the first paragraph it says, 'The advice doesn't come from some desolate area of Afghanistan ruled by the Taliban, or from the unfortunate province of North Kiva in the Congo (where last year about 400,000 women were raped), but from police officers in Park Slope, one of the most tolerant and liberal neighborhoods in Brooklyn, in New York.' It pretty much seems like they got all their info from the recent Wall Street Journal article."
