"HFK, Fair point. Sure, we could. But balancing incoming youth with experience is almost a perennial issue. A constant cycle. It never really goes away. At least not for too long. "

If it was only a drink, now reverse the role and be a cop going there to arrest her for doing that to him and you see how ridiculous it is.Fcuk me dead it's a world gone mad to waste the courts time over some of the things that are regarded as Common Assault.My God assault to me is physically hitting someone,the rest I class as a form of abuse which is bad also but abuse none the less..

  I bet cops thought it was ridiculous too, but when it comes to domestics they have no choice I reckon. Worse case scenario they turn up at a domestic, they ignore it (downplay the water incident), they leave and then later the bloke beats her or worse.
  
  You do realise the cops will get their arses kicked over it, possibly even charged depending on the circumstances.
  
  Unlike magistrates and judges cops aren't exempt from being sued or charged for showing a blind eye to the facts.

I would think guilty is guilty despite the non-conviction. To save face I'm expecting at least 3 matches imposed by the club. Personally I think that's fair enough.

He plead guilty to domestic common assault.
Unfortunately for him whether that related to water or punches is largely irrelevant when it comes to this sort of stuff. Women's rights groups would be watching very carefully to this I'm sure. Whether you or I agree with that is also largely irrelevant. So I won't state my opinion on this punishment.
