[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of these replies are just crazy. A police officer is not a social worker. There’s no way they could have predicted what was going to happen weeks later. You are asking way too much “they shouldn’t have let her drive off by herself” You think a young woman is not capable of taking care of herself ON HER OWN PLANNED VACATION for one night?? That’s a very demeaning and paternalistic POV, IMO. [/quote]

OMG - thank you. There is only so much a police officer can do. They gave her ample time to get help but they can't force her to ask for it.  I understand...the abuser/victim issue, but these police officers are not going to solve this in a 90 minute traffic stop.

She did not deserve to die.  Period. Full stop.  However, the world cannot intervene in other people's relationships that appear abusive or are emotional and pull the women out and save them.  It doesn't work that way.  If her loved ones didn't do it, a stranger is not going to.  [/quote]
Regarding the police and the second 911 call - how is that supposed to work? They were working off info from the first call by the witness that saw her as the aggressor, but when/where should the information from the second call by the other witness who saw him hitting her had gone? Can the dispatcher radio them the info once they’ve been assigned and on their way? Anyone know how this is supposed to work?[/quote]
