These are just a few examples of things I am looking for, if you have any other information, examples or even moans you would like to add, then that would be greatly appreciated. If you chose to answer this question as a trained police driver, then please state that in your response, the criteria I must research is specific to "general public" but I am more than willing to read answers from trained officers.

How do police know who to arrest in a domestic dispute involving lesbians? Seeing as domestic violence between lesbians is vastly more common than domestic violence between heterosexual couples and seeing as (according to feminists) domestic violence is either: 1) 99% committed by men, so basically the police should arrest the man. or: 2) Self defence by the woman and in any case the violence occured in a context of invisible "patriarchal oppression" so she was defending herself even if she, unprovoked fired a handgun at his groin and so the man should be arrested as he must have somehow started it. How do the police know who to arrest if both parties are women? Oh, BTW both no. 1 and no. 2 are proven false: No.1 by: 196 scholarly investigations: 153 empirical studies and 43 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm And no. 2 by dozens of academic studies, eg: http://www.ncfmla.org/dv_data.html But hey, doesn't stop police from accepting radical feminists as experts on domestic violence, so the question stands. Diedre I can't help but notice you've decided that close to 200 academic studies producing the same statistics are false. We only need to look to the amount of violence by women on men in television commercials to see how blindly accepted it is. Or rather.. they "must" be false because you "know" that they are. Let's face it most feminists can't accept the truth even when it is plain as day infront of their noses. Reassessing the fantasy world they have dreamed up where all their inadequacies have been explained away by their eternal victimhood would be too difficult. And these people are influencing public policy. jonmcn: A good reason for my "ideological ax" would *be* the fact that studies such as these show that women are just as violent as men, yet men are far more represented in prison statistics for domestic violence. As for your murder rate claim, I suggest you look at this consequence of blaming men for domestic violence: http://www.angryharry.com/esonlywomenare... The rate of women murdering their husbands dropped since men started being blamed because they have easy legal recourse, men do not, so the murder rate remained the same. Frankly those murders put blood on the hands of the feminists involved in the DV movement. jonmcn: The arrest rates are obviously tainted if the reasons for arrests are based on information that is false. Geezus. Think about it. That's what I don't like. Brute reality: Here, v.i.d.e.o. e.v.i.d.e.n.c.e.: http://www.antimisandry.com/vbdr/bullbusters/ Also look at: http://www.mediaradar.org/ wendy_g, wording is gender neutral hey? Guess what? Original research: Just skimming the act at the Thomas website I can come up with: SEC. 206. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PREVENTION, EDUCATION, AND AWARENESS. (1) Nearly one-third of American women report being physically or sexually abused by a husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives. SEC. 702. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) Violence against women has been reported to be the leading cause of physical injury to women. Such violence has a devastating impact on women's physical and emotional health, financial security, and ability to maintain their jobs, and thus impacts interstate commerce. "HER"? "WOMEN"? `SEC. 41305. ENGAGING MEN AND YOUTH IN PREVENTING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, DATING VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ASSAULT, AND STALKING... by helping them to develop mutually respectful, nonviolent relationships. "MEN"? Caught you lying. The only one of those sites that says where the stats came from is the last one, and they came from arrest statistics again. Already explained as tainted. I'm counting three sites there Judas Goat. I have four. One is a bibliography with 196 references. Come up with more than 196 and we'll talk. Feminists have hijacked the issue, so of course there will be conflicting data from tainted sources all over the place... LOL.

Does yahoo answers bridge a gap between police officers and the public? I have a grudge against police officers, I will admit it. It deals with police being very unprofessional towards law obeying citizens to put it nicely. I also know considering the type of people police deal on a daily basis, and I understand why they are not too trusting of the public either. However every time I ask an law enforcement issue on yahoo answers, those with careers in law enforcement are kind polite and informative and it lessens the hard feelings I have against them. Yes I know this sounds like a loaded comment, this is however geared to those in law enforcement. Does yahoo answers lessen the divide between community and law enforcement and brings a better sense of community between the two in your opinion? I have hard feelings due to a police officer in my home town leaving grip marks on brother's neck for sitting on a side walk after dark. And then being told by the police we would be arrested next time we call about such a matter. That was wrong and injust. However, like I said, it is attitudes and perspective formed from what one deals with on a daily basis. Change this perspective and things turn for the better, which is always good. That was for those who want to know.
