Sorry, rape deniers: The Rolling Stone report isn’t what you hoped http://t.co/s0yhpzjsNF

Way to try and avoid the point!
Nice try, but no thanks:
@jtLOL @AmandaMarcotte Yeah but somehow Ferguson gives credence to the idea that all cops are racist. Got it.

So? MT @AmandaMarcotte The report on the Rolling Stone fiasco gives no credence to the idea that false rape accusations are common.
