> Domestic disturbance calls can be a suicide mission for cops. Violent couples are NUTS!
People have no idea (former LEO); especially on the South side of the tracks
Well in Missoula that would be 3/4 of the city on the south side of the tracks. Historically the trouble was on the east side of town and north of the tracks but it’s been a while. And yes I do know the founding members of the “south side gang”. But at that time we were just north of South Ave but mostly the west side of town.
My limited experience for observing violence like this was all white people. They were NUTS. Alcohol was always involved. My own mother was punched in the mouth, knocking out teeth, when she tried to intercede where her brother-in-law was beating her sister (that was before my folks met). That aunt and uncle stayed married til he died, some 55 years after that incident, hitting my aunt regularly. A couple different girlfriends I dated during high school had dads that hit their mothers all the time. My ex-wife’s dad beat his wife AND his daughter.
They’re NUTS I tell you.
