Nobody has burned her house down or her car out? What a bunch of sheep. If someone came after my son as you just described, it would be, literally, me against them, badge or no badge. It is pure self defense.
It has happened. It has not worked out very well for the parents.
Another one they do, is to arrest you while at home, on the couch watching TV for drunk driving because two hours ago someone at the golf clubhouse saw you drink and then drive home. I'm talking 50 year old men and women, not kids on this part.
