Ha. Yeah. She'll have some pepper spray before next weekend. Seriously, does anybody know where I can get that stuff?
Urban, the point is the cop didn't question anybody, didn't make any attempt to figure out what had happened. He just said "these things happen all the time..." There were a few witnesses around. If the cops put any effort into it things could have been resolved quite easily.
My girlfriend wasn't hammerred, she had been at a little kid Halloween party until 10:30 last night before she even had a drink. She was at the bar for about 2-3 hours after that and had about 6 drinks. Trust me, she can drink a lot more than that and still be fine. No doubt she was mouthing these dudes off, along with the girls they were with, but mouthing off is not illegal. Hitting people is. Hitting girls is not more illegal than hitting guys, but you'd think that the social attitude towards hitting a girl would have made it at least worth the time for the police to walk a half of a block and look in to things. If the police got to that scene and talked to people and decided my girlfriend was at fault, or her group was, or that there was nothing that they should be doing about it I could be more respectful of their actions. They didn't do anything though. That's the problem.
Oh well, perhaps I'll use that cop's reasoning as an excuse to not try to catch a cab in this city. People drink and drive all the time.
