First off there is not a requirement by police departments to make an arrest on a domestic with "little or no evidence".
That's illegal.
And if you guys have dumb enough cops in your portion of country that do that (not saying you don't), then they won't be cops for very long.
God, maybe I should just avoid these conversations. This is getting ridiculous. Like the guy who tells everyone he got pulled over for going 1 mph over the speed limit and got "screwed" by getting a DUI.
Look, I know there are some messed up cops out there. But they are rare. And just because you dealt with a piece of **** doesn't mean most of them are. The piece of **** you dealt with is the minority, not the majority.
Most officers do what we do to help and to take care of people. Most officers would take a bullet for you.
Don't believe it? Go for a ride-a-long one day.

Yes sir. There most certainly ARE mandatory arrest laws in many states that dictate if the police arrive at a domestic violence call they MUST make an arrest. Look it up. In my case, "probable cause" was simply her version of events versus mine, and there is NO REASON the arresting officer should have believed me OR her other than he showed up to "save a ho".
And you can just better believe they're going to arrest the man 9 times out of 10.
I know it is difficult to believe such a law exists, because it's effing insane, but it does, and just you go and take a look at the rights that can be lost if a person is convicted, and then go find out just how easy these convictions are, and how DAs pressure people to plea out rather than go to trial by adding BS charges.
Dude I'm not trying to yang your chain. I believe people like you (most people are like you) just don't understand how effed up this domestic violence nonsense truly has become. Women's groups openly lobby politicians, police, Judges, DAs, and so on.
PM me if you're really interested in learning just how disgusting it is, because I honestly don't want to start anything with you, but it is clear you're in denial. I was too, to some degree, until it happened to me.
