12. You are so right - Chump has politicized domestic violence in order to get "better" numbers
Thu Oct 9, 2025, 08:49 PM
Thursday

First of all, I'm so sorry for what happened to your friend's daughter. What a horrible thing to happen to any extended family. Of course their children will be traumatized for life over this, and that is doubly horrible.

But the simple fact is that ANY municipal police force in any large city - not just Washington DC - cringes over 911 calls involving domestic violence. The police hate to cover those types of calls, even though it's their job, and lives depend on quick action.

It's 99.9% the guy (husband/boyfriend/whatever) who is threatening the woman/wife/girlfriend and the chances are high that it will morph into danger and violence. Sometimes an officer gets shot or killed. The guy might be drinking or on drugs, and he probably has a gun. Handling those situations is always dicey, and the police know it.

For Chump to turn this kind of dangerous situation into political fluff is stupid and short-sighted.
