When I was in police academy in 2010-2011,
we were taught that domestic violence calls
were dangerous, and fraught with unpredictability.
One has in his mind all sorts of things like locating &
protecting a victim, to making the near-mandatory arrest.

Since the "Black Lives Matter" movement emerged -- which equals
'Police Lives Don't Matter' -- police should be instructed to look first
for a potential ambush and attempted assassination of police.
