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.
