Certainly there's going to be a "national discussion" about how effective police procedures are when it comes to protecting people who are being abused. When a domestic abuse call doesn't result in some serious and direct questioning of the victim and the victimizer (which were, of course, the reverse of who the police deduced it to be), when the police are seen pal'ing around with someone who has just been reported to be "slapping" their companion, yet they're saying things like "I know when my wife gets mad...". It's horrific, really. Great that the police are polite and respectful with all concerned, not so great that they ignored all the red flags and were a little too nice. And then the PR policeman in Florida, the "not my job" guy, wow. Yes, sir, there was no crime alleged in North Port, there's also nothing stopping police from performing some surveillance (if they don't want to see imminent suspects run away, that is). Epic fails, coast to coast.
