anger
I know police officers help people all the time but when it comes filling a report against an abusiver they are nasty people.. the officer that took my report waas so mean.... almost harrassing me... so are you going to follow thru with a ppo and a divorce...at that point I was in denail I haven't realized what sitution i was in... women actually do leave and don't go back it might have been the first time I filed a report. he was our supporter I never wanted him to lose his job.... at this point I didn't care about him. it finally was about me and my kids.... sometimes I feel like telling that cop off!!! how dare he treat me that way... I was shaking inside and out I was so scared....

you are not alone with the police officers being so judge mental. I had it the same way until I actually had the TRO and he was already in violation . Then they became my best friends, since we were victims of DV and stalking, ( I don\'t know if your city has that) but they taped my phone lines and everything. It took 39 violaion\'s before he was finally convicted not my me.(I had no say) The DA took over in our state and he server 6 weeks in jail. Didn\'t teach him anything though he didn\'t think that there was ever a problem with what he did, and to this day has never apoligized for putting our daughter through that. She actually called the police officer \"Daddy\" one time that is how frequent that had to come for reports. I know how you feel there were plenty that wouldn\'t even take a report thought it was all in my head or something, but once you finally hit that \" DO NOT GO BACK BUTTON\" or \"FREIGHT OR FLIGHT\"\"for the sake of or children I guess the humility doesn\'t matte anymore. There were a few who, turned out to be nice guys, I think they felt guilty for being suck jerks.
I would report the police officer to his superiors. That is not okay for him to make you feel even worse. Do you have DV advocates in your area? I would talk to them about it, too. I\'m sorry you had to deal with that.
Report that police officer to his superior tell them that you were and are in a time of need and you felt like he was berating you! Tell them that you dont feel he is on your side at all and you dont feel safe even after making the report. ANd ask the superior to please get out your file so that you are able to do the report with him personally because you would feel safest that way.
