Why the fuck can’t the police place charges anyway? Here in Canada any assault charge is automatic, it doesn’t require the victim to do anything. Is that not true in the US?
The government can press charges on your behalf, but if you’re resistant they will often let the matter drop. It’s really hard to win a case like this if the victim refuses to testify.

Yeah but there’s video evidence in this case
That being said, I don’t think the state should endanger a victim who is afraid for their safety and not consenting by making them go to trial
