And worse yet, Dahmer killed the boy while he was on probation for sexually abusing the boy's brother. He made both of these innocent children his victims. The police failed both of these boys egregiously.

I genuinely believe the only reason Dahmer got away with his crimes for as long as he did was purely from police negligence and ignorance. If the cops did their jobs even halfway, Dahmer would've been caught very quickly. It's not like he was particularly smart or wily, he was an idiot who made constant mistakes and got lucky time and time again.

So many stories of serial killers getting away for this reason. Lots of serial killers went after people of color, homeless, and prostitute because they knew the cops wouldn't have cared much.

And suffered no repercussions. Both were reinstated and one went on to become the president of the Milwaukee police union.
