[@LemonSte]

The more i delve into true crime the more I realize the police system is inherently broken. I feel like a large portion of people who even seek out those roles are so lazy, narcissistic and emotionally volatile yet cold, that they can't possibly do their job, or at least every task a policeman role requires currently. It's statistically proven that most police show antisocial psychology. Which it you're required to do difficult, forceful actions, that might be ideal. But having these traits is simply not conducive to solving crimes involving actual every day people. I feel like police often write off these killers as suspects because they identify with them. Cops are mostly the reason cases don't get solved especially when the victims are women, sex workers and minorities

There was a fake tip off that he would ‘attack a student within the walls’ (or something like that) referencing the part of York city within the old castle walls. My mum was at York uni at the time and was unable to go home for the weekend. She was so scared that she barricaded herself in her room for two days not daring to leave. I can’t imagine the fear that women felt during that time.

He could have been caught much earlier with some smart police work... It's a fact that he was interviewed twice by the police, had a cast of his shoe taken, but the policemen just couldn't connect the dots... Even his coworkers jokingly called him ripper, but there is no evidence anybody suspected something sinister about him, not even his wife...

[@emilygill1084]

There was one officer called Andy Laptew who raised concerns about Sutcliffe with the senior officer (George oldfield) and wrote a report to show why he suspected him, but because Sutcliffe didn't fit oldfields strict criteria of being from the North-east of England, Laptew was told that he had to forget about Sutcliffe or he would be demoted into a menial role for the rest of his career. This was when the senior officer in charge of the case had the last word so there was no one else Laptew could go to with his report who had more seniority than oldfield.

This should be named “ how they didn’t catch..” as it sure did take the authorities long enough.

All they had to do is follow him. Infuriating when authorities drop the ball like this. It would have been different had the majority of victims not been sex workers. Amazing how the public is so ready to dismiss these women’s lives as dispensable because of their circumstances. Serial killers always start with those who are vulnerable, but it’s only a matter of time before they start killing women, children and men.

No question that those attitudes contributed to the Yorkshire ripper getting away with it as long as he did. Much the same thing happened in the Denis Nielsen case too.

Police knew that there were two killers in the Ripper mix, the Real Ripper obviously being the main culprit and also the man who was sending them messages, the other was a copycat killer. After the arrest and the mental home deal with Sutcliffe for his confessions there was never a word said about the copycat and what happened to him. But Sutcliffe was that man. Thats why there are so many unanswered questions and why nothing makes sense and why the copycat was airbrushed out of the picture.
