Thread: As an expert on dynamics of gender violence, I am intrigued at the willingness of other experts & professionals in this area to let the police officers on the bodycam video off the hook - or even THANK THEM - for their response on that call. #GabbyPetito
The officers might not have been "jerks" in the way they communicated with Gabby during their response, but they clearly lacked adequate training in partner violence response and WRONGLY identified the primary aggressor.
People who experience partner violence deserve worlds better. Training for situations like this should be a MINIMUM requirement, especially because abusers often use law enforcement (and whatever biases & lack of training officers have) to manipulate their partners.
