I was assaulted and battered by my older sister and the police said that they're not gonna do anything about because they're sick of my family. They didn't arrest my sister and they saw that she bruised my forehead up (stomped me in the face) and they saw that she bruised up my arm (stomped my forearm) and I told them that she stomped the back of my head. I had a witness she had none. I went to talk to the officer's sup and he told me if they arr rest her they have to arrest me because she said I broke a bedroom door. I told them that that's my mom's house and the door has been broken for over a year and they kept telling me that's the only way they will arrest her, if they arrest me first if I let them. I know that this is illegal of them but, i don't know what to do and how to go through with it.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

So why are the police sick of your family?

Sounds like this event was mutual combat.

I agree. This sounds very much like a mutual combat situation.

If the situation is so bad - and frequent - at your home, perhaps it is time to move. The police are under no legal obligation to make an arrest or even take a report. If your home is a frequent problem, it is not a surprise that they are reluctant to do anything.

If you want something done in a way that you can control, apply for a restraining order of some kind if that is an available option to you in your state.

How old are you?

If you're over 18, then move out and don't deal with them.

If you're under 18, call CPS.

Notice that the police apparently gave no credibility to the witness. And where's mom? We hear about her bedroom door but not her.
