I’ll agree with you on everything BUT the DV statement. The cops WILL arrest you (if your male) on a DV complaint so fast it’ll make your head swim.

If the girl had been smart she could have insisted on making a criminal complaint and at least taken up the cops time for a 1/2 hour or so. Most likely the group harassing her would have gotten bored waiting around and left by the time she was done having the cops fill out useless paper work.

I agree with that. The scenario I had in mind was that after arrest, and the guy is under a TRO, the cops have no duty to keep the guy away from the gal. The guy has an order that he is responsible to obey, or else suffer the consequences. Should he violate the TRO, and cause her harm, the guy is in trouble (as are the captured perps here), but the police are not in any way liable.
