The new cops

4. This may be a blessing in disguise for this woman.

She is in obvious danger from her mentally ill husband.

Clinically this man is paranoid and increasingly dangerous. The heavy drinking
increases the potential for violence.

Paranoid people can get violent when they think others are going to hurt them.
The man is focused on stabbing, which makes me wonder if that is what he is thinking
of doing to his wife.

Yes I agree, the police could have handled this better. But the bottom line
is that she needed to get out of that home before she gets killed.

And yes it is a lesson about what caretakers must do to protect themselves
with documentation and legal backup.
