Feds tell agencies to support domestic violence victims seeking time off

The revolting video of Sean “Diddy” Combs hurling Cassie Ventura, his former girlfriend, to the floor, then kicking, and dragging her, brutally demonstrates the need to protect domestic abuse victims.

There are far too many Venturas, including in the federal service.

Their pain can be more than physical and psychological. The financial hit could be as severe as Combs’s kicks, not just for the person, but also for the public. After CNN released a video of the beating last week, Combs acknowledged his actions, saying in a statement that he was “truly sorry.” But apologies, such as his, do not make any pain disappear.
