The officer was definitely wrong...no two ways about it. Do I understand why he was driven to do what he did? Yeah...I do.
Another officer and I arrested a ********* for hitting his wife. He was sitting in the backseat and we were discussing charges and such. Very nice looking lady pulls up and gets outta her car. She says, "May I speak to my husband?" Barry and I were confused and she said the dude handcuffed in the car was her husband. Turns out the chick he smacked was just a squeeze on the side.
I initially refused to let her talk to the guy but she said she needed to work out what to do with their kids while he was in jail and she had to work. OK...I'll open the door but he's not getting out. She said she was good with that.
I opened the door, she walked over and punched the dogs**t outta the guy. Busted lip, bloody nose, etc. Freakin' Mike Tyson punch. Then she calmly put her hands behind her back and said she knew she was going to jail.
We considered every possible way in the world to keep from charging this lady. Ultimately just wrote her a misdemeanor summons for harassment because the guy said he wasn't hurt. Perfect...you didn't suffer pain, you didn't get assaulted. I took her to the PD and processed her thru and let her go. She was my hero for the day. The husband didn't show up for her court appearance so the city dismissed the case. Course, he was likely in jail, so...
