Given that 1/3 of people murdered by strangers are murdered by cops, it's criminal negligence not to consider cops FIRST when the identity of a killer is unknown.

The video in the article clearly shows sex workers getting put in handcuffs and led away in police cars, yet they still use the grotesque euphemism of "rescue" when this happens. And many people who now scream about ICE raids accept this as being "normal" when it's anything but.

I honestly don't want to have any conversation that doesn't start from accepting that hex work is morally neutral & that hex workers deserve to live free from incarceration and policing. Let's also take a minute to acknowledge that we can't even talk about it in our most-used public spaces (here)

Throughout the article she speaks to creator after creator who tell her that while the work is hard, they like it and it offers them opportunities and revenue that other work doesn't. Her conclusion? This career is a bad idea.
"It is difficult to know what to make of this relentless positivity. Making money is obviously important and can be liberating, but it's hard not to feel sceptical about how empowering the work really is, and doubtful of the wisdom of embarking on it as a career."

“According to O'Donnell, patrol members approach a woman and politely identify themselves. ‘The usual pattern is, if she's a prostitute, she gets very angry very quickly,’ he said. ‘She'll either yell at us or walk away.’” From a 1984 article on sex workers resistance to a citizens patrol group
