Many FReepers would disagree.
I will presume innocence until we find out more, but I think this probably has given her insight into the trouble with the system the way it stands.

Domestic Violence Officer Accused Of Assaulting Husband
Posted: Aug 25, 2008 06:15 PM
Putnam County Sheriff's Office
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - A Putnam County woman faces is accused of assaulting her husband.
Kim Keith is a domestic violence officer with the Putnam County Sheriff's Office.
Since 2003, if there's been a domestic violence case in the county, more than likely Keith has investigated it.
But now she's on the other side of the law and suspended from her job.
"Absolutely not," Keith said when asked if she has ever shoved or physically assaulted her husband.
A police report indicates that her husband told investigators that she assaulted him.
"My husband and I got into an argument," she said.
Keith insisted that her husband is trying to get back at her because she wanted out of the marriage.
"I would just like to say that I didn't do all of what I'm accused of doing," the deputy said. "I'd just like to get it taken care of and clear my name."
"The fact that she's an officer, the fact that she got arrest is enough for me," said Keith's boss, Putnam County Sheriff David Andrews.
Andrews said he takes the charges seriously.
He put Keith on unpaid administrative leave, took her gun and patrol car.
"We'll see what happens in court," he said. "I have to, as the sheriff, as the administrator here, look at the total circumstance. When this is all over with, I'll make a decision as to what we do from there."
"He did push me. He left and went to a chiropractor appointment," Keith said.
Keith said her husband was never treated at a hospital for any injuries. She also said he waited five hours to summon police after the initial fight on Friday.
Keith is scheduled to appear in court for the assault charges on Sept. 15. She was placed on unpaid administrative leave.

Ping!
How may times have we heard this story in reverse? About a million.
The dark side of FARGO.
Women do not commit domestic violence.. even if such things took place, a Man would be laughed out of Court most certainly..
Guilty I say...
Frying pan to the head is domestic violence, no matter who is swinging it.
Instant Karma’s gonna get you...Kim.
Many do. Gals are taught by everything they watch they can slap and toss things at guys all the time and there are no consequences for them.
PLus, they are excellent mental torturers and guilt trippers.
LOL! Just like 99% of female accusers.
At least the Sheriff is doing his job. I'm impressed.
They watch too much TV and actually believe it. Lifetime movies teach women that all their problems, from breast cancer to domestic violence can be solved in two hours.

“Many FReepers would disagree.”
That;s fine... Anyone who wants to be wrong is welcome to disagree.
Seems a bit on the husky side....I would probably think guilty. Those eyes are a BIT too wide for me as well.
Many female LEOs are. Especially below the waist.
You should watch the video before determining guilt, of course.
She reminds me to much of a woman I know who made false abuse accusations, so I wouldn’t tempt a potential bias.
She sure is nervous, though.
And either way, hubby loses her now!
And he should be.
Care to explain?
That's where police shot and killed a family dog during a traffic stop:
