When approaching one of these, play it safe, just hose'm both down with pepper spray, cuff'm and let the judge figure it out.

IIRC they send at least two officers to respond to a domestic call, not just one. Domestic situations are dangerous for one thing because they're dynamic and unpredictable. A woman calls the police because her husband is beating her. The officer shows up and arrests her husband. Then the woman gets upset because she only wanted the police to make her husband stop beating her, not to arrest him. She attacks the officer, and so the officer tries to arrest her also. Then both of them start attacking the officer. Then all three of them are fighting each other at the same time. Then someone pulls out a gun or a knife and things get really crazy...I really respect the police for what they have to put up with in these situations.

Domestic disturbances are the most damgerous calls for law enforcement. Glad the officer is okay.

Hopefully the officer will be back home soon and protecting the citizens of San Antonio once again.
