I think the solution may lie in diversifying the police force, although even women can be sexist, and even minorities can be racist.

the real reason the mandatory arrest laws don't work, imo, is police corrruption. officers decide on a case-by-case basis what is "real" domestic violence and what is not. too often this does not work in the favor of women.
