Kardashian should be charged and face accountability for it's abusive behaviour as this signals to all and sundry that it's funny to be an abuser or in reality, no one gives a stuff including those law officers who are paid to do so..
Dereliction of duty only applies when princesses are involved..

When Kim Kardashian punched her then-husband Kris Humphries in the arm during Sunday night's season premiere of "Kourtney & Kim Take Manhattan," Dr. Drew believes it was "domestic violence."
"What you are seeing there is domestic violence," says the "Celebrity Rehab" doc, while reviewing the footage on his new show, "HLN's Dr. Drew." "A lot of people watching this may not understand this. And I get that. It looks playful. What's the big deal? But it's a massive deal ... This is an incontrovertible piece of evidence of someone engaged in a domestic violence relationship."

Dr. Drew Pinsky calls this a moment of "domestic violence."
E!
Kim Kardashian punches Kris Humphries' arm.
In the scene Pinsky pointed to, Humphries attempts to pick up Kardashian and in the process steps on her toe. Kardashian becomes enraged.
"You ruined my whole pedicure. Seriously, my whole toenail just broke in half. It hurts, Kris. You always do this (bleep) to me because you're so rough," she yells before taking a swing, with all her force, at Humphries' arm.
Because Kardashian is a petite 5-foot-2 while Humphries is a giant 6-foot-9, the punch landed without so much an "ouch." Still, Pinsky says the footage is shocking.
"Anybody viewing this has to understand the spectrum of domestic violence," charges Pinsky. "When it starts like that, and it always starts like that … it progresses. The size and gender doesn't matter. It goes to a horrible place."
But of course Humphries is not innocent in this.
"Look at the way Kris is grabbing her," says Pinsky. "That`s not OK."
In several scenes, Humphries seems not to have a clear understanding of how big and strong a human being he is. In another moment, he picks Kardashian up and throws her on the bed, falling on top of her. The couple giggles as it happens, but Pinsky still feels it is a warning sign.
"Even if it's ha ha, you have to be very aware of this stuff," says Pinsky. "People minimize this stuff until it gets to the emergency room. Then they wonder what happened."
