I find it odd that you have these seemingly contradictory statements. On one hand, you are willing to concede that your G/F may not be giving you the whole story. Then 2 posts later you talk about why the cops just sat on their butts not doing anything.
If the truth lies somewhere in the middle; is it not possible that your g/f and her friends either started this, or at least helped it along? Is it not possible that the cops saw the whole thing; figured your g/f's group was the one who should be charged, but also suffered the most damage, and the other group didn't want to press charges?
The other factor is the "welt" that you say your g/f suffered was completely gone 24 hours later; which to me implies a red mark and not a welt. Perhaps a trained police officer saw there was a mark no worse than what a person would get bumping into a pole, and saw no crime.
One more possibility; the police may have been called there for another reason. Maybe a report of a gun or a knife; or a wanted person. It's possible they had bigger fish to fry.
We have 1/3 of the story, and you are thinking of arming her? If that's even a possibility for her, I think I can safely assume there's more to the story than what she's told you. The only reason t oarm yourself to go out to the club is to try to escallate the violence. And if she's looking to escalate the violence, that tells me she may have had a hand in things escalating the other night.
