I am so sorry you had to experience that,LilyB!
I have nothing to add except use every protection society avails you.
It is nothing short of amazing how quickly these cowards melt when
cops wearing sidearms show up.
Your being beaten,yelled at for hours,and peppersprayed is unacceptable.
Get an RO. If he breaks it,he does 6 weeks on the roadcrew.Break it again?
12 more weeks (in jail) for contempt of court.How pathetic and foolish and
naive are these buffoons to think they can 'trump' public policy. The 'public'
has virtually unlimited training, firepower, and patience.
You would really have to be under the influence to ever believe you could
win in this situation.
(But I guess he is!)
Let's hope this fellow is not the escalating type.Man on woman violence,with drugs
involved.....is a well documented and extensively trained for situation.It will not go well
for him.Here's hoping he doesn't make an irrevocable (fatal) error in judgement.
But that is HIS problem.Yours is staying safe!
