The US is utterly fucked. Nothing short of a revolution will save them.
Why the fuck does she need a lawyer to press charges? Assault is a crime against the state. It's supposed to be the police and the state prosecutor who deal with this.
Governmental agencies are abandoning their written duties for the current regime, including cops. Doesn't help that cops are being trained that the public is the enemy. Also, regular investigations and crime solving has been steadily going down. Demographically, conservative-racist people is the biggest group to be in law enforcement, meaning they will be less likely to help someone that's different. Just recently, the DOJ is refusing to enforce court rulings in favor of the orange king. It's horrible, and dire, and too many in power seem to not care or trying to ignore it.
