David Cage tackles domestic abuse in latest Detroit: BH trailer.

[Neurotic Void Melody]

I suppose I wasn?t clear enough. Call the cops all you want, but in the meantime do whatever you can to protect yourself. Because the attacker, you know, probably won?t agree to just sit back and wait along with you for them to show up. Fleeing the scene might not always be a viable option either, especially if you have loved ones in harms way. It?s a fact of human nature to want to protect those you love. Unfortunately adrenaline can cloud judgement, so it?s never as easy as it sounds.

Having said that, it seems that society has gotten to the point where we can no longer trust individuals as citizens enough anymore to take some responsibility for themselves in this regard. Everything automatically gets delegated to the ?authorities? because the media has literally convinced the populace that the tens of millions of law-abiding gun owners out there are all ?nuts?. Individuals weren?t always thought of as being this irresponsible or helpless, and there certainly aren?t enough cops to babysit every altercation.

...What the hell are you talking about? You said it was pointless to call the cops. Not "in the meantime you have to do something" you said it was pointless, end of story. And here's a suggestion. Take your loved ones and run with them.

I wouldn't talk about media coloring one's perception if I were you. You have a very unsupported view of how how to respond to a violent situation. And I doubt you have first person experience to back it up. And yes, you should call the cops in violent situations because cops are infinitely more well equipped to deal with these situations than you or I ever will be. I don't know what you're getting those unsourced numbers from, but as someone who has had to call the cops multiple times on his crazy ***** sister, your approach? It doesn't work. At all.

Well from the sounds of it neither has your approach, but it would seem neither would address the root cause anyways. I wasn?t referring to domestic civil disputes or sibling quarrels either; I was referring to instances where someone?s life was being immediately threatened.. Please don?t bother trying to explain how waiting for the cops to arrive would suffice in a situation like that, because you can?t. No one can. Sometimes it boils down to fight or flight, and each person is going to respond according to their individual traits.

My approach kept my sister from bashing my fucking skull in. I'd call my continued existence proof that it works. You know, you seem to be under the impression that people advocating for calling the cops are also advocating for sitting around doing nothing until the cops arrive, and I've seen no one advocating that.
