The New York police unit featured in the long-running TV hit ‘Law and Order’ is under investigation for failing victims, with one told she “might want to date” her attacker. Allegations against the Special Victims Division of “shaming”, “abusing” and “re-traumatising” survivors are currently being assessed by the Department of Justice - a move insiders say is the first of Joe Biden’s administration. “The Department received information alleging deficiencies at SVD that have persisted for more than a decade, depriving survivors and the public of the prompt, thorough, and effective investigations needed to protect public safety,” officials said.

FBI Thrown Into Controversy Over Damning New Report About Their Involvement In Whitmer Kidnapping Plot | The Daily Wire
The FBI was thrown into controversy on Tuesday afternoon following an explosive report that was published by BuzzFeed News that suggested that the alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer may have never even happened if not for the actions that FBI informants and undercover agents had in spurring suspects into action in what many critics called “ entrapment .” The FBI reportedly relied on an Iraq War vet to provide information to the bureau about the actions of a group called Wolverine Watchmen.
