“Most Policemen I know dread having to respond to a domestic dispute call.
Typically, the wife defends the abusive spouse and the Policeman usually ends up dead.”
I don’t think typically is the right word here. If this were true, then thousands of cops would die each year in domestic abuse calls. Yes, the cops I know don’t like domestic abuse calls, but usually what they do here is just arrest both parties. They don’t try and work things out, figure out who was right or wrong. it’s much safer to just slap the braclets on each party and let the courts figure it out.
