„He was totally focused on why I posted about it, accusing me of trying to get attention on social media,” she said. What made the experience even more painful, he said, was the unprofessional behavior of the sergeant.

„He said he was glad I made the statement so he could meet me,” she added, highlighting the inappropriateness of the meeting. @iqeenqueen clarified that her intention was not to disparage the police, but to raise awareness of the reality many women face. “I know there are good officers there. But unfortunately, I had to deal with the worst,” he said. In her post, she urged other women to be vigilant and take extra precautions for their safety. „Carry pepper spray or something for self-defense, and if you can avoid it, don’t walk alone,” he said. The post sparked a wave of comments from netizens, many of whom expressed outrage and offered advice on how to proceed. “I suggest that you get yourself a lawyer and go to the police station to write another report including your experience. Note the names and IDs of the officers who attended you,” commented one user, Theera Olivia.
