Not protected & Not served...

Now let me ask you a question… when you call the police, it’s for an emergency correct? Ok, now… When people rob a bank, sell drugs, steal a car, are they the ones to call the police and say, “hey look Mr. police man… look what I did.” NO, it’s the person who has been violated or witnessed someone breaking the law. Well today after witnessing the aftermath of domestic violence and this girl I know locking herself in the bathroom after her husband punched her and broke her cell phone in half so she couldn’t call the police, I was outraged when the officer stated he couldn’t arrest her husband because he had a scratch on his neck…. WELLLLL! Hey Captain obvious, She is the one with a knot on her head, a bruised shoulder, locked in a bathroom crying hysterically, scared for her life and I believe she was the one who called you and it is HER cell phone that lay broken in the street but your right, the guy standing there laughing is innocent. Of course he has a scratch on his neck she was trying to get him off of her! Now it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out he was assaulting her and she’s frightened…. He all the while is cool, calm and collected. As he stood there laughing and talking to the police officer while she sat there in tears trying to figure out where she was going to go and what she could legally do with her children since she obviously can’t go home, I was outraged. I wanted to cry for her and at the same time punch both her husband and the officer. Really? Really…? He gets to go home and relax while she has to complete the rest of her day at work scared for her self and her children, trying to figure out where she can go and take her kids to get away from him. I can’t believe this is legal! I am so disappointed and angry at our state and government for even allowing this to happen! Where was the protect and serve? Who was he protecting? Who was he serving? Not her…. The man that beat her…. But it’s cool no need to worry till she winds up in a body bag! Someone please make sense of this for me…. I have never been so frustrated and upset!
