IMHO, this is the direct result of liberalism. You get people with diseased minds in charge, and this is the result. My problem, again, is with the complicit police forces around the country (State, county, local) which are “just following orders” and enforcing these laws.

1) "Domestic violence" *does* occur.I learned this during my 20 year stint on the staff of a big city ER.Sometimes the result isn't particularly bad.A cut...a bruise.Sometimes it's murder (I've seen it).These things clearly shouldn't happen.Not even the "minor" ones.Except in cases of self defense there's never a legitimate reason for a guy to physically harm a woman.
As a lifelong resident of the Gay State I can attest to the filthy,despicable mindset of all-too-many of this state's residents.I'm sure that at least *some* guys here are wronged...seriously wronged....by the states "protection" laws...particularly given the greed and venom of all-too-many women...and lawyers...here.That homosexual "victim's advocate" clearly believes that *all* men are beasts and that *all* women tell the truth regarding protection orders.
I think the (female) lawyer put it best....in at least some cases a request for a protection order is just a form of extortion by the woman and her lawyer.
Do at least some....and,most likely,*most*...women who request protection orders in this state truly have reason to fear their filthbag husbands/boyfriends? Of course. But not all do.But in Massachusetts,at least,there's not a damn thing that can be done because of the filthbag voters...and politicians...and judges of this state.
