“Do you know that domestic violence takes up about 75% of police officers’ time now?” the senator said.

“And that’s all they’re dealing with. And the police have had a gutful of it.

“They’re sick and tired of it because of the reports that they have to make, and that’s why we’re not dealing with real crime out there. The whole thing needs to be wound back.”

This lady is insane

In a speech she also explained how she smashed a plate on the wall, she had thrown at her husband, as a way to example "that's just how it is" so we shouldn't take domestic violence seriously.

And wasn't her son prosecuted for domestic violence. She started being really loud about her views then.

She also said it shouldn't be taken seriously because it's a two way street. Holy fuck. (I'll try and find sources, but I've got a migraine coming on, so I don't know how quick ill be about it)
