If a woman's abuser is a police officer, then her abuser may get away with being violent since he has power in the police force and fellow officers wil cover up his actions. Police coverup of domestic violence commited by police officers are on the force occurs not only in the city police departments, but in police departments in small towns. In other cases, if the woman's abuser is rich or has connections to corporations with money, can influence the police and not get in trouble with the law for domestic violence. O.J. Simpson is a prime example. He was famous, wealthy, and powerful and he abused his wife for ten years and eventually killed her without police interference because he had connections and could bribe the police.
Money hides problems, money hides domestic violence.
If a woman's abuser is well known in the community, the police may not interefere if he is guilty of domestic violence. For example, well known and respected doctors, lawyers, businessmen, politicians, church men, etc. Domestic violence is a major problem in our society. Rich corporations rape the earth on a daily basis, women are beaten, tortured, and killed on a daily basis, and it's just another day in the capitalist system. The current American socierty pays lipservice to protecting women from domestic violence.
