Was roofied at a bar after drinking a shot meant for my girlfriend. I feel worse after making a report with the police given how I was treated.
First and foremost, I’m a guy. I took my girlfriend and her friends out painting last night, followed by some drinks at the bar. My girlfriend is (in my opinion) a very physically attractive woman and gets attention from a lot of guys. I’m pretty secure in our relationship but she has a tendency to be nice to every person that talks to her (God bless her). I learned after the fact a man bought her a few shots for our group, and she brought them over. She gave one to me and one to our friends husband. The night went on until I got really sick. I ran to the bathroom to throw up and decided I needed to get out of there. I called an Uber without consulting her and told her we needed to leave when it arrived. We get back to my place safely thank God. I woke up this morning next to her (she was supposed to go home) but had no memory of what happened the second part of last night. My face was killing me too. I looked in the mirror and my face was so bruised. My nose was swollen. And my lip was busted. I threw up again very painfully before getting in the shower what felt like an hour later. I called my dad who I’m really close with to explain what happened. He was understandably angry and wanted me to report it to the police. We agreed that would be best. I thought God what if this had happened to my girlfriend and I wasn’t there. Or any woman for that matter. I couldn’t idly standby so I found the right number for making a report and called. The operator was so nice and understanding. His voice was calming and assuring. He took some details and said someone would come over.
The officer arrived and just kinda loitered outside my door, asked me “what’s going on?” and seemed very unprofessional. I asked him to come inside since that seemed like the right thing to do, and even then he just stood right on the other side of the door. I’ve never interacted with the police in this context but it was immediately putting me on edge. I am explaining to him what happened and he cut me off to ask “so you got roofied?”. I said I didn’t know for sure, but I feel like I was. He said if I thought that then I should go to a doctor. “We’re not medical professionals, what do you want us to do?” I explained to him I just wanted a record of the incident in case it happened again. He was extremely dismissive, saying “yeah there’s a record of our contact” and “everything’s recorded”. At this point I didn’t want to talk to him anymore given how he treated me and just clammed up with one word answers. He could tell I didn’t want to talk and just turned around to leave.
I feel so stupid after talking to him. I thought I was doing a good thing but he made me feel like an idiot. I’m not a moron, I know they’re not doctors. But when someone calls you to report they were drugged, they’ve got bruises on their face, and they’re clearly scared then maybe be a little more delicate. I don’t want anyone to experience this awful pain and have the people whose job it is to protect us treat them with such indifference. But I would do it again because I wouldn’t want someone to feel alone, wondering if others had gone through the same thing.
If anyone needs to talk about their experience, I’ll always listen with an open heart
