Signed.

I live in Mexico and remember visiting a small town many years ago where a policeman had been using his power to rape women. The town lynched him.

Thank you for that @ArabellaScott. Signed.

Women need to trust the police when they are victims of abuse.

Signed. Although I fear if they do as requested they won't have enough officers to run a functioning service.

Maybe so, but it starts the negotiation.
