CA domestic violence law results in victims being arrested
Guest Commentary written by Jess Huang Jess Huang is a former political staffer with experience in every level of government. She works for a Washington D.C. anti-monopoly think tank and is currently authoring three books. On Valentine’s Day weekend, my ex-boyfriend assaulted me and threatened to kill me. He’s 440 pounds and 6-foot-6. I’m 137 pounds and a foot shorter. But when I called the local police department, they arrested me instead. Never mind my injuries. Never mind the overwhelming size difference. Never mind the clear evidence of assault — the open beer can my ex threw at my head, the knife he thrust at me, demanding I stab him in the heart.
