Yet more proof that cops are different

Consider this tale:

Two co-workers, having an affair. They get into a brawl in the parking lot of a bar. The next thing you know, one of them is “seeing stars and has blood pouring down his face and left eye.” On another occasion one “split the head” of the other. On yet another night, one punched, slapped and kicked the other before he left the house. The first person said the other shoved her to the ground in her driveway.

Then you read this tid-bit:

State police investigated the incident as a domestic case but no charges were filed.

Ah, common sense, you say. Two lovers having silly squabbles. Both of them “didn’t want to prosecute”, probably. Let’s sort it out amongst ourselves.

We see this all the time, though, with our clients. A domestic dispute. One beats the other up or they beat each other. Both are injured and both are arrested. Both are needlessly prosecuted, wasting time and money and resources.

Maybe the cops did the right thing this time, you say. Then you discover that the two in the tale are cops.

It all makes sense.
