    Who ever told you Domestic Violence was a minor disturbance or crime clearly has never worked in law enforcement or the court system. Nothing minor about it, crime scene appear with dead bodies a lot of times

    There must be more to this story for so many LEO’s to respond to a minor disturbance or it was a slow day.

    James I would bet he was out of the area before they got there, but they still needed to make sure he wasn’t hiding.

    To: Jame——Wait. Wait. Wait I see one pulling out with his lights on…He’s going after that guy. Just saying

    To: Random——It’s a lot of waisted efforts on the police now days. They can hardly get anyone booked before they are back on the street. Too soft on crime has left a lot of folk helpless and in danger of the that person returning and doing the same thing again. Just saying

    Sure seems like a waste of resources for such a minor infraction, if in fact the guy really did hit the woman. From what I hear it’s common practice for ECSO to come out on the losing side of these type of pursuits or “manhunts.” I suggest the guy go ahead and lawyer up, the criminals in green won’t be long before busting through the door of his home, without a search warrant and threatening, his family, as they try to claim it legally part of searching for him. Just saying.

    Perhaps if all the L.E. vehicles in the photo had spread out they may have had a better chance of noticing the suspect.
