[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched the bodycam video very early on and was one of the few people in this thread who thought she definitely was a victim and that Brian was definitely the abuser-- just based on their statements and behavior.

But cops aren't in the business of reading into situations to find the deeper truths. They are in the business of enforcing the law. Gabby was claiming fault for everything that went wrong between her and Brian, and Brian was saying a lot of words that didn't form a cohesive message. You can't form an actual case against Brian based on your biases. And my read of the situation comes from biases based on my interactions with DV victims and abusers, and my own experiences with DV. Victims see themselves as completely at fault so its not easy for cops to make a case.

I really don't blame the cops. Yes, they said some misogynistic stuff but we live In a misogynistic world, and it's unrealistic to think that cops will be anything other than normal and average when it comes to enlightened thinking about gender (and race).  They spent over an hour with Gabby and Brian and did what they felt they could to de-escalate.

This is not true AT ALL.

Cops don’t enforce laws, laws are broken and cops show up.

Their job is to arrest people who already committed a crime.

Cops are trained to determine reasonable suspicion. They determine who, from what they observe, is possibly guilty. .. within reason, reasonable suspicion. Not guilty Beyond a reasonable doubt. Just possibly.

Anybody who sees the video and does not ask why does he have injuries on his face is irresponsible.

The cops know they were fighting.

The cops know she is upset, he is calm.

The cops know he has injuries on his face.

&lt;the rest is not the cops fault, lack of training… social norm, idk but they F’d up&gt;=

Their conclusion is she attacked him not she hit him defend herself.

Now she is dead.[/quote]
