The original police interview of Gabby Petito & Brian Laundrie shows what it looks like when cops have NOT had adequate DV training. Blaming her “mental health”, ignoring reports of his emotional abuse/threats, putting HIM in safe hotel while sending her to spend night in a VAN?
I used to train police on how to respond to DV calls. This was NOT how it should be done. Gabby Petito deserved response from a female officer trained to read between the lines. And the fake respect she was treated with would sadly not have even been given to Black & Brown girls.
