I found this both horrifying and eye opening at times, I do think it is worth a watch because I feel as westerners we become too focused on injustice in our society when this sort of thing is a global issue, often to a far more extreme degree.

HOW COULD THIS FEMALE JUDGE IGNORE THE PLEAS OF THIS WOMAN
http://jezebel.com/woman-arrested-by-same-officer-who-allegedly-sexually-a-512812379
Watch that video and tell me you don't want to help that poor woman, how can you ignore a fellow woman telling you she has been put in an uncomfortable situation, sexually assaulted, just how? I am actually disgusted that the man had the fucking arrogant cheek to attempt to arrest the woman WITH NO ACTUAL GROUNDS and the judge just sat there. SHE FUCKING SAT THERE. What the hell even is that, it's not even the case of 'the sisterhood' it's another human being. Does the legal system not exist to give everyone the right to be heard, she ignored her entirely. My heart really goes out to Contreras and her little daughter. It really does.
I am disgusted and disheartened from a human perspective. From a feminist perspective that woman holds a job that is well paid and high powered and to many she would appear to be 'doing it for feminism', well what a fucking joke. It just goes to show that you can't judge a book by it's cover and the people that are meant to protect us are evidently not all doing their job for the right reasons. Question everything because if we don't then it appears no one will.
