Assaulted last night

My question is, should I press any sort of charges against this lady? I mean, she didn't hurt me, but she was trying. I just wanted to get the heck out of there last night but the more I think of it the more I want something done about this. No administrators helped us at all. My fear is that another official will go there and the same thing will happen to them. Thoughts and comments are welcome.

If you have the officer's name contact him & tell him you are thinking of pressing charges, or use his name when you go to the station to file charges. Don't wait too long to do this, in any event it might be that the cops will try & talk you out of it. You might also want to talk to someone at the DA's office to move things along especially since it looks like the officer at the scene didn't take a report including your friend's name & what he witnessed (maybe he did?). Also, write a full report & send it to the world: your assignor, your local associaton, the principal of both schools, the local police department. Do this with your partner or have him write one of his own. My 2 cents on this.

Also, and this is very important, there is no need for you to leave with the crowd. Give them 15 minutes or so to clear out & change into street clothes before you go.
