I called Mesa PD to BShas once when I was finally able to get away from my abuser. I told them what was going on and they told me they were going to call him and see what he had to say and told me to go home and get a restraining order. I called again when he had pushed me down in the front yard. I tried to tell them too. I showed them pictures of my shattered nose. They asked me “how do we know you didn’t do that to yourself” Mesa PD is not good at helping victims of DV
