in case you didn't know.... just because you get arrested by police doesn't mean you will be charged. They will have to go to court and many times, the wife recanted.
the court procedure is difficult, lengthy and expensive. it's why many women gave up.
Just curious... if those wives did not call the cops on your friends, would you say that those wives are stupid/weak? No reprimand for the husbands?
Why do I get the feeling that this type of conversation is likely to happen (or has already happened):
Your friend: "Sigh. I got into a fight with my wife. She got me so MAD that I had to slap her. Yea I feel kinda bad about it, but geez she just wouldn't stop pushing my buttons. She can be such a nagging bitch."
You: "Careful man. She can call the cops. Nowadays, the police will believe anything a woman says. Better be nice."
Your friend: "Yea, geez you're right. I better make sure she doesn't call any cops..."
Police always asks a person if he/she wants to charge against another person. If the person says yes, then another person is sent to jail and police do paperworks. I think that's the way it works. I watched "Real Cops" on TV in the past.

Wrong, I didn't know that it happened until I heard about it. Actually that was not my problem, it was his.
Your legal information from tv?!?!?!?
:roll:
Real life not work same like tv. Even "reality" tv.
You never watch Real Cops before? It is about real cops in action. They are not actors.
For example, People's Court or Judge Judy, are they fake or real?

I hope I'm wrong.
And... reality TV is still not reality.
it's a reality but they only show you a part they want you to see.
have you read anything in news about ladies being killed by spouses???? i hope you did.
why do you think the DV agency has been set up in the first place?
did you see a big print in COPS tv show - "All are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law"?
Again - just because they got arrested does NOT mean they're guilty. It's cop's job just to arrest them and it's prosecutor's job to prove it in order to get them criminally-charged and imprisoned.
So until he is found guilty and charged by judge.... he is presumed innocent even if he gets arrested. that's why there's another criminal charge that if you falsely reported him, you will be charged with filing a false police report. That's what happened with many abused women. It's also why men can easily win case against women based on their history because their lawyers will keep reminding jury - "Filing A False Police Report"... Women's credibility is shot.
Usually I read about an EX-spouse's murder (ex: OJ), sometimes child(ren) getting killed, too because of child support. But I haven't read much about spouses' murders. However I know that any guy who abuses can be very dangerous so that's why we have cops. DV agencies send cops, don't they?
My friends were found guilty. Happy now?
I am not familiar with DV or how does DV work or run. All I know is that if women need a safe place then go to DV to follow up what they need to do for protecting themselve but its up to women to make decision to make reports to the cops if they have evidences or brave enough to fight back with spouses.
My girlfriend works with DV.
