domestic abuse accusations do warrant arrest. I'm not uncomfortable with that at all, because it saves lives. pretty sure the point of putting the accused in jail (not prison) is for the safety of the abusee. give them time to change the locks, or pack up and gtfo. it saves many children's lives as well

To be balanced, false accusations do get made lives do get ruined. When accusations occur without corroborative evidence the Police as Bas says do try and ensure that a male partner (because sadly male partners are the ones who sometimes murder their partners/whole families) is removed from the scene and probablt given a restraining order. Whenever it is only two people present when an accusations about a crime, be it rape, assault etc. It can easily be a false report from spite. These things happen and can lead to tragedy. We only have one side of this, the only people who really know what happened are the two present and one is now dead. Any death over something like this is sad. It is what it is.
i disagree with none of that, so maybe we just wrote a 2-post satisfying end to this silly thread
