As this post gains traction, let's reiterate that the issue with "#NuisanceLaws" isn't that recipients of abuse should be able to call 911 as much as they need, but that calling 911 is itself not the solution to intervening and preventing partner violence #SurvivedandPunished
If the police system is overloaded with calls for help form survivors of abuse, it says everything about that system that its solution to this problem is evicting and displacing survivors, not providing safe housing, counselors, healthcare, childcare, etc. #SurvivedandPunished
The takeaway is that it's a mistake to look to the police and prison system to solve partner violence--which is rooted in poverty, toxic masculinity, mental health disparities--all the things the police/prison system keeps in place #SurvivedandPunished #NuisanceLaws
