When my husband hit me, the police came home, my husband was sleeping, and the police said forget it, so they asked me this? Let me go directly to the community next time.

If your husband ever hit you, then this is a serious problem that needs to be taken seriously. When the police show up at your door, they may have received a report about your husband's violence, and they must ensure your safety. The police have the right to enter your home and ask about your situation to determine whether further action is needed to protect your safety.

If you feel threatened or hurt, you should tell the police. The police will record your statement and take necessary measures to ensure your safety, which may include arresting your husband. Even if you are not hurt at present, but you feel threatened, the police may take necessary actions to protect your safety.

If the police say "forget it", I suggest you contact the community directly next time, perhaps because they think there is no need to take further action at present. However, this does not mean that you should give up asking for help. If you feel unsafe or need help, you can contact the local community center or women's aid agencies for support and advice. You can also consider seeking the help of a lawyer to understand your legal rights and take necessary legal actions to protect your safety.
