(Trigger warning – abuse, injuries from abuse, death, police indifference)
Don’t watch the video which broke my heart, because I’ll tell briefly below.
-
She has a broken shoulder and knots on her head from her abuser who took her phone.
-
She just starts walking with her belongings. She has no idea where to go, and has no “Google maps.”
-
She slurs her words, and the deputy notices swollen bumps on her head AND a whiskey bottle.
-
She begs deputies to take her just to the next town because the road is dark and full of semis going 60 mph.
They refuse.
Please, she says. I have a son in Chicago.
No, they said, just walk on the side of the road, and be careful not to get hit.
It is abhorrent how a woman being abused immediately triggers most men to disgust and retaliation.
