Ok I see. Yes, when it's just getting one person out the house for the night it's sometimes more practicable for blokey to take it on the chin.
Sorry - I have been told (and it might be rubbish), that there is a policy that if a lady calls and says she is scared of her husband and that in the past he has been violent (could be a push or anything) and that if the man is arrested and not allowed to go back. What I wondered is, if a bloke called and said "I'm scared she's going to hurt me", the Police turned up and he explained she'd hit him before and he was scared.
I can see the praticality of removing the bloke. But then I do think that's incredibly outdated. Some guys are the primary care givers to kids these days. So I was more interested in what the policy really was on the matter.
In reality most guys probably wouldn't play out in that situation. However I have heard whispers that some women know this and will use it to get there way. I know one guy (who told me which doesn't count a lot) that this happened to him, and that whilst he was in police custody the mrs wiped out his bank account. The next day her solicitor got an order not letting him back. This was after she'd found out he'd had an affair.

Obviously a fix. Carinaman has already decided his guilt.
I am going to need a bigger dunce's cap. And a Man versus Food Humble Pie. As an aside XCP, not that anyone is keeping score, you're about 2 or 3 up on me this week, and yes I feel for that widow with the Change.org petition. Someone did say to me that I need to be a bit more cynical and less prone to seeing the best in people.BBC News from the URL posted by La liga said:
Mr Evans, who helped in the relief work after the 2004 tsunami in Asia, said he used humour with detainees.
His attitude to suspects was "quite flexible" and he used jokes to try to make them feel relaxed, he told the court.
He said: "My language might be seen as inappropriate and silly but it was to show police officers were not robotic and are approachable."
And rather than being wrong or shown up, I can see many positives in dealing with people that way and one of the things that made me feel for former Sergeant Gary Watts, the Gangnam Style police officer in Cornwall was that he said much the same about using humour on his official police blog.His attitude to suspects was "quite flexible" and he used jokes to try to make them feel relaxed, he told the court.

Mea Culpa. Sometimes I am a tool.
