In response to Ellemm's comments, I learned this: law enforcement dread going on DV calls. However, if there is a brawl at a bar, they can't wait to break it up. Please no offense is meant to those who are in the law enforcement field. Also, in some states, when the cops go on a DV call, someone will be arrested. I have seen the victim arrested, even with fresh bruises and black eyes! I just had the thought that it is ok to use "domestic violence" because there was a time that no one used that term, or knew what it meant. Can we go about changing the term just when the world is beginning to wake up to its meaning? PL
