Domestic Violence discussion (split from On being pro-life)

[Elijah Craig]

Domestic violence calls to 911 are one the most frequent kind. To even claim that policemen aren't trained to deal with domestic violence absolutely destroys the credibility of the person making the claim.

A person could watch two or three episodes of COPS and see how difficult domestic violence calls are to handle. Many times one party or the other blatantly makes up the claim. Other times the abuser claims the victim started it. Other times the victim has an attack of Stockholm Syndrome and turns against the cop who is saving them. Sadly, the genuine cases often go unreported because it is the nature of victims to take abuse without asking for help.

Even more sadly, there are a lot of real cases of domestic violence that get ignored because there are so many people who play the system with false claims or true claims they later deny. THAT is why I even bother with this thread... problems don't get properly addressed as long as there are people spouting B.S.
