Maybe some of the men on this thread could reflect on why they feel the need to talk over women about their experiences.

I think that the men who are talking over the women in the way you describe are going to be the last ones to even notice, far less feel under any obligation to justify themselves :(

I can see both sides. You were worried about her and wanted to make sure she was ok.

She was angry that you disregarded her wishes.

I'm trying to think what I'd do if a slightly pissed friend insisted on walking home alone. I might do the same as you.

Yeah this. I think you meant well Mr paulee , but I think in her shoes I'd have felt a bit patronised at best, like a child who wants to walk to school alone and whose mum secretly shadows them. Your friend is an adult. At worst, it can come across creepy, like being spied on and as if you somehow don't trust her - again, she's an adult. Would you have done it with a bloke? If not, that's problematic. You could have asked her to call or text you when she got in so you'd know she'd arrived safely, there's nothing wrong with that. But yeah, I think following her home without her consent is the problem here. Again, you had good intentions, and intent matters, but it's not the only thing that matters.

That's all true but it's worth thinking through what information they might have on their officers, and what information they don't have that they should do. And what rules there should be. Should domestic abuse allegations against an officer be passed to another force to investigate, for instance (just going from that article above).

Of course the whole barrel is rotten, but there are types of rottenness that needn't be so prevalent.

That already happens as standard.

E2A - when a victim reports an officer as an offender, it’ll be given two two designated officers in the neighbouring force. They then usually notify the local DV services that if anybody calls in relation to that victim the service should only speak to those officers and should advise them of the details of any other officer calling about that victim. That’s what should happen as standard at any rate.

The wife's name and picture are all over the internet which really is not fair at this stage.

This is kind of inevitable now though isn't it? Before everyone was totally interconnected via the internet, it might have been possible to keep a lid on who a high profile murder suspect's wife is, but not now. Fair doesn't really come into it.

They've even tracked down her family in a small village in Ukraine. Awful.

I saw her photo this morning, until then it had been blurred. I think it's fucking disgusting. First of all this is still ongoing. They haven't even, officially, found evidence to link Sarah and police officer. Secondly, this woman may have been involved in this against her wishes but now her face is out there for world to see. This should not be allowed.

a quick search showed the mail of all papers blurring it while the sun, as you'd expect, showed her image

when I went to journalism school they taught us that the death knock was the bread and butter of the trade. tbh it's one of the reasons I didn't end up working as a journalist...

My teachers wanted me to be a journalist because I was good at English and creative writing, but it's stories like yours that made me decide not to go into that profession.
