My bad. How about "local celebrity". You know what I mean.

There has to be physical evidence to corroborate one or both parties stories. Then the police will take the aggressor to jail.

I'm not saying that what always happens, but that's what should always happen.

And I'm thinking if the police arrested a local icon like Junior, they know he'd have a good attorney because he has money, so they have to make sure there is a strong case on him before they ever arrest him.

I've been told that if Kenner Police get called out, they are arresting someone. Not necessarily an official policy, but, the way they handle things.

Even with a "conduct detrimental to team" clause? I wonder if what he did will void anything in his contract. Galette even mentioned to the police about his contract. Hmm we'll see i guess.

In many states (not sure about LA), if the police are called out on a domestic abuse call they are required to make an arrest, even with little or no evidence. This policy is meant to diffuse the situation before it escalates any further.

Many women take advantage of this, as saintfan has pointed out in previous posts. Unfortunately, it is part of many a divorcing woman's playbook to erroneously make domestic dispute calls in an effort to have their spouses arrested. Mine tried it a few times until I convinced the arresting officers that seeing as how there were no signs of an altercation and she was the one making the calls that maybe she should be the one taken into custody. Worked out well, never had another incident after that,

.

Doesn't seem like that's the case with JG's situation though,

Love ya Slo but I'm sorry I have to intervene here.

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.

Jnorm, I love ya, but in some areas it is in fact their policy. May be unspoken, but it is. Don't ever kid yourself, homie. The laws, the family courts, etc are all stacked against men. At least right now. There is a slow of the pendulum, and she'll make her way back toward the center eventually, but currently this is a woman's world, lmao!

Well, that's how it was explained to me by the Honolulu PD, the Detroit PD & the Wayne County Sheriff's Depts, respectively. It may not be the same all over, which I mentioned, but be assured, it is a policy in some locations/depts. in my experience. #shrug.

I don't want to get into the whole cop debate thing but being educated in the criminal justice system it is indeed policy for some localities to make an arrest regarding domestic violence. The only evidence required being an accusation from one party involved. Not every state holds these standards, and this is somewhat new due to cops rarely making arrests and later being called back to make an arrest for murder.

On the subject of JR, I could go either way. Unfortunately it seems like he has the maturity of a 12 year old. My only hope is we can get something done with his contract, because this could result in a 6 game suspension.

I have a hard time believing the minority part. They seem to be killing all the minorities. Unarmed kids at that.

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.
