Commiefornia Police Kick in Door and Taze Person Filming Them

Maybe Bailey Guns can answer my question, which I will elaborate further on. With most domestic violence calls (as this one is reported to be), when the cops show up, too often doesn't the beat-ee either recant or altogether pretend like nothing is wrong? I would imagine this would be a situation where exigent circumstances would suggest that the police enter to investigate further.

Sometimes, but we have to go off of evidence present, what they say, and any witnesses. Domestic violence crimes are mandatory arrests even if the victim doesn't want to charge them.

I thought this was if one of the two parties in the house was called? My X and I were "wrestling" in our living room when we had the same call... The cops who showed up got a door answered by a couple of half naked people......... No one got arrested then. They understood what was happening though. So, what gives? EDIT: We lived in an apartment, upstairs apartment. Neighbors heard "screaming", and thumping....

I don't know who called as I didn't read the story, just watched the video. Wrestling isn't a crime so nothing happened to you guys, .

Yep. Happens in what I'd call a high-percentage of domestic calls, especially with chronic abusers. Like DingleBerms said, sometimes the cops can help, sometimes they can't based on evidence...which oftentimes includes the victim's own statements that the abuser didn't do anything.

Threads like this really push my buttons. That video was presented here with one purpose in mind...to get an emotional response and to put the police actions in the worst light possible. It always works with this crowd. Everyone here's a damn expert in police procedure, even if they have no formal training.

The biggest complaints or criticism seems to originate from those who were never on the job. Or have no one in LE in the family, who see and hear the "other side". I had the same criticism when i wrenched on 4 & 2 wheeled vehicles, tattoos, etc.
"Well i understand you did this, BUT couldn't you have done ...........this?"
