In domestic violence cases, police are more likely to make arrests when #pets are abused, too. We know there is a link between animal cruelty and interpersonal violence. So shouldn't there be stronger established partnerships between police and animal cruelty first responders?
Just as police may discover animal cruelty when responding to intimate partner violence, humane law enforcement may uncover evidence of intimate partner violence.

In 2022, Georgia had the 14th highest #GunDeathRate among the states.
In an average year, 1,927 people die from #GunViolence in the state. That means someone dies from gun violence every 5 hours.
52% of those deaths are gun suicides, & 45% are gun homicides.
In GA, the rate of gun deaths increased 56% from 2013 to 2022, compared to a 36% increase nationwide.

Trump backs requiring insurance companies to pay for IVF costs
Trump used a speech that touched on energy and economic policy to propose free fertility treatment for all women, paid for by insurers or taxpayers., The Detroit News (The Detroit News)
“That’s not the time or place for it,” said Karen Meredith, a #VoteVets board member whose son, 1st Lt. Ken Ballard, is buried in the second row of #Section60. “They had to #bully themselves into this thing. The lack of #respect for the rules or the norms or the #laws at #Arlington — there’s just no respect.”

…Other #veterans & bereaved families viewed #Trump’s visit as #disrespectful to a sacred space that also belongs to them & to the nation. #Section60 is a place where young widows can be seem trimming grass w/hand scissors, sharing comfort w/other #GoldStarFamilies, & decorating graves w/flowers & beads. Visitors have long taken graveside photographs there, & sitting presidents have visited before, but not as part of #campaign events.
In addition to the #campaign’s TikTok video, #Trump posed for photos on Monday at the graveside of Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee w/her family [in #Section60], including 1 where he is giving a thumbs-up & others are smiling. Eaton called the gesture “appalling.”
The campaign also defended itself w/a joint statement from the 2 injured Marines who appeared w/Trump & the families of some of the #ServiceMembers killed, saying they wanted Trump & his cameras there [irrelevant & illegal].
…Co-campaign manager #ChrisLaCivita, who was present Monday along w/other #campaign employees, in a statement called the #cemetery employee “a despicable individual” who “does not deserve to represent the hollowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.” [mother f⁕⚠︎er!!] LaCivita posted video on X on Mon of #Trump laying flowers at the grave of Staff Sgt. Ryan Knauss, a soldier killed in the explosion, & speaking to his family on the phone [video all taken in #Section60].
“If the [#Trump] #campaign feels the need to defend their team’s actions — which include #bullying & physically pushing out of the way [#assault] a longtime #PublicServant & member of the team at #Arlington working to protect the sanctity of the sacred spaces — then that’s on them,” one #Defense ofcl said. “The rules were made clear to participants, & these two chose to disregard those rules. End of story.”

The incident has raised concerns about the #safety of #ArlingtonNationalCemetery staff members, the senior #Defense ofcl said, w/vitriol aimed at them initially on Monday by liberals, after the news coverage of #Trump at the #cemetery was published [really? I was immediately concerned for the staff & knew it was Trump et al being who they always are]. That has given way to language from #conservatives that also is “concerning.”
#law #disrespect #military #ServiceMembers #USpol

The press then returned to a holding area, specifically instructed that reporters & cameras would not accompany #Trump & bereaved families to #Section60.
But Trump ofcls said they did not view the #campaign’s own photographer & videographer [who weren’t allowed to be anywhere there as campaign staff in the first place] as subject to the same restrictions, so they continued on to Section 60. Their arrival there prompted the standoff w/the #ArlingtonNationalCemetery employee over the rules.

#Defense ofcls were concerned about the event Mon because #Republicans have frequently used the…[Afghanistan exit], as a #political cudgel. In advance of the event, #cemetery ofcls told #Trump’s team that he could come in his PERSONAL CAPACITY & bring PERSONAL aides, but NOT #campaign staff. Campaign advisers went anyway.

Cheung also said the #Trump #campaign would release footage to support his claim but has not. They did, however, post a TikTok of the event on Wed — exactly what #military ofcls tried to prevent. The use of the footage marked a flagrant violation of the #law against #partisan actions at #MilitaryCemeteries, #Defense said.
#Trump campaign spox #StevenCheung responded to the 1st report of the altercation, from NPR on Tues, by accusing, w/o evidence, the employee of “suffering from a mental health episode” [Im surprised he didn’t call the woman “hysterical” stereotypical #misogynistic crap]. #Defense ofcls said that the employee was trying to do her job & that the claim of a mental health episode was false.

A #ArlingtonNationalCemetery employee tried to enforce the rules as provided to her by blocking #Trump’s team from bringing cameras to the graves of US #ServiceMembers killed in recent years, acc/to a senior #Defense ofcl & another person briefed on the incident.

[that the employee was a #woman is probably 1 reason Trump et al were such #disrespectful dicks]
#DOD Ofcls said they wanted to respect the wishes of grieving family members who wanted #Trump there, but at the same time were wary of Trump’s record of #politicizing the #military. So they laid out ground rules they hoped would wall off #politics from the final resting place of those who paid the ultimate #sacrifice for their #nation.

Allison Jaslow, chief execof #Iraq & #Afghanistan #Veterans of America, said in a statement that #ArlingtonNationalCemetery is a hallowed place that should be off limits to partisan activity.
“Any aspiring elected official, especially one who hopes to be Commander in Chief, should not be confused about that fact,” Jaslow said. “Nor should they hide behind members of our community to justify politicking on such sacred ground.”
