[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]

Even if BL did hit her if she didn't want to press charges or do anything about it there is nothing the cops could have done. She had a night to leave him, get away, call her family for help, whatever and she didn't do it. Maybe she was brainwashed, mentally unstable and abused, it's likely, but there was nothing the cops could have done at that moment.

If her family couldn't see the issues in their relationship how the hell were the cops suppose to in a 90 min stop?[/quote]
