Seeing no problem with what the police office said, is a big deal. Just project this same phrase over any similar situation - raped while wearing a short skirt, beaten at an arena by an opposing team fans, having your wallet stolen while falling asleep drunk. Physical violence is against the law in a democracy, unless your life and safety are imminently threatened.

It's not the same situation as a rape, so lets not go there. It's
this situation. It's not a black or white thing, it's a million shades of grey, and that's why sometimes selective policing happens. And yes, I think it's more likely that this scenario happens than if the parties were reversed.
