Here's My Question? How someone else could have been involved in a situation like this, without such a civil authority? Not many of us has Police IDs and most of the time when c**p like this occurs there's no officers of law is present. I've overheard dozens of conversations like that and even has put my hands in a few as well. To be honest, hasn't gone very well for me on the ground situation!

If you are with another woman (gf, wife, mother, sister or other) you can wait for the guy to go to the toilets or smoke a cigg or whatever and go to offer your help to the girl, offer to drop her home or to the police station to fill a complain. If you are alone, it's better to ask the restaurant staff to call an officer, explaining them that there is someone threatening a girl and that you are scared for her safety. Stay there until they arrive so you can be a witness of the events. If no such situation happen (you're out and there is no authority figure to help you or no way to talk to the girl alone) then just step in, offer the girl a chance to run away and talk to the man about his behavior and how you're not letting this happen. Whoever hits first is the punishable one so stay calm and just offer her a chance to hide somewhere. Afterwards, if you manage to make him leave, encourage her to fill a police complain in which you can be called as a witness, leaving her your details.

In the US most police departments have a non- emergency number. Look it up and store it in your phone. You can always call and ask if they have a police officer near by that might want to have a chat with the D-Bag. If I hear a threat I call 911. As I am a female I would walk up to the female and ask if she needs assistance or a ride.

l noticed a sign in one restaurant whilst traveling recently, it is set up in the ladies toilet..it tells you that if you happen to be on a dud date or he turns out not to be what his profile says or any other thing, then you go up to the bar and request a particular drink, which really does not exist and the staff will know straight away that you need help getting out and they will get you out the back door AND organize a taxi for you..more pubs/bars need to advertise something like this..

This sounds EXACTLY like a date I went on over a decade ago. This guy was saying SO many inappropriate things like this and I felt so uncomfortable. Except nobody came to save me. He did not rape me but he FORCED me to kiss him at the end of the date, like took my head and forced it into him and said he had worked hard all night for that. Then when he asked me if he could call me the next day I said no, and he replied with "But you see I know where you live now". I had never been more scared. THANKFULLY I never saw him again.

That "free country" of yours seems quite a jungle. This lady has problems bigger than this situation if she wasn't able to handle such a jerk. Why does it have to be a policeman to overhear it, she should have called the police earlier if she didn't feel safe. And otherwise just give this guy a lecture in his own dirty way. Or just take a phone and call for the taxi.
Naomi Gill 7 years ago
Sure. Because we all think calmly and rationally when scared out of our minds. And maybe she'd tried to take out her phone already but the creep didn't let her make the call. Maybe she was afraid he'd do something physical to her if she tried to leave. You don't know. I do. I haven't been in a situation this bad, but I have been alone with a guy who was giving me the creeps and it can take an incredible act of will just to *move.*

What a great story, this girl was lucky and blessed to have the cop deal with this guy. I am amazed at how much trust, some woman, put into what starts out as mundane situations, only to see them fall apart quickly. (NOT in anyway saying this about this incident) I happened to have watched two forensic files about woman who went to bars and left with the guy after having just met him, he killed two of them, the other episode was about a woman giving two guys a ride, she was murdered too. And yes, I realize this had little to do with this particular incident, this is just how my over active mind works. Don't be so trusting of people and always have a back up plan to help yourself.

One hot day a friend walked into the pub and said: "there are two dogs locked in a car outside and they've been there for at least two hours." We go outside and sure enough there they are locked in. I said: "I'll take this one," and banged a screwdriver on the side window - shattering it. The dogs come and join us in the pub for much needed water. Some time later an outraged couple stormed in demanding to know what had happened to their car and dogs. I showed them my Fireman ID and informed them that if lives or property are in danger I am legally entitled to break into anything I damn well please. Your dogs are in the corner now f**k off. Didn't have to buy a pint for the rest of the evening.

Can you prove the story of Peter and the Wolf is true or false? What about if I told you a story about how a single person stopped a division of Chinese military tanks by walking in front of them? Fake or real? What about people who have climbed Everest? Maybe the story of the Fox and the Hound is not actually made up? The point is the story, rather false or true, is to incite thought. To make you think if you would get involved or not and why. Would you call the police, why or why not. Are you the assbag in the story threatening the woman? DO you have a lack of respect for the law and order of the nation? Would the people you typically associate with step in? WHy or Why Not? To simply post..."oh its fake, theres no way that would happen like that...." is a copout to actually having to use your noodle to process thought. WHo cares if it is fake... It should remind you to be a good person for all people.

Because I'm pretty sure the asshat wouldn't have behaved himself if the cop wasn't there. So.... Heads or Tails: Heads - I come up from behind, sleeper hold, wait for police, and give her a ride home or go in cuffs for saving her and assaulting him. Tails - confront him, offer her a ride home, potential fight.

The girl couldn't run because the guy knew where she lived and he did not seem like the kind of guy to get mad. The cop would not shoot the guy just because he was black, what the hell are you talking about? That is racist to think that a white cop will shoot a black man just for that reason.

Stock photo with a LOT of quoted dialogue that could not have possibly been recalled unless it was secretly recorded (which it wasn't). It's just a huge story and you guys are all falling for it with your goosebumps and your tears. Please. It's fiction. It came from someone on Reddit, for crying out loud. Be a bit more discerning in what you swallow as fact.

In the US most police departments have a non- emergency number. Look it up and store it in your phone. You can always call and ask if they have a police officer near by that might want to have a chat with the D-Bag. If I hear a threat I call 911. As I am a female I would walk up to the female and ask if she needs assistance or a ride.

l noticed a sign in one restaurant whilst traveling recently, it is set up in the ladies toilet..it tells you that if you happen to be on a dud date or he turns out not to be what his profile says or any other thing, then you go up to the bar and request a particular drink, which really does not exist and the staff will know straight away that you need help getting out and they will get you out the back door AND organize a taxi for you..more pubs/bars need to advertise something like this..

This sounds EXACTLY like a date I went on over a decade ago. This guy was saying SO many inappropriate things like this and I felt so uncomfortable. Except nobody came to save me. He did not rape me but he FORCED me to kiss him at the end of the date, like took my head and forced it into him and said he had worked hard all night for that. Then when he asked me if he could call me the next day I said no, and he replied with "But you see I know where you live now". I had never been more scared. THANKFULLY I never saw him again.

That "free country" of yours seems quite a jungle. This lady has problems bigger than this situation if she wasn't able to handle such a jerk. Why does it have to be a policeman to overhear it, she should have called the police earlier if she didn't feel safe. And otherwise just give this guy a lecture in his own dirty way. Or just take a phone and call for the taxi.
Naomi Gill 7 years ago
Sure. Because we all think calmly and rationally when scared out of our minds. And maybe she'd tried to take out her phone already but the creep didn't let her make the call. Maybe she was afraid he'd do something physical to her if she tried to leave. You don't know. I do. I haven't been in a situation this bad, but I have been alone with a guy who was giving me the creeps and it can take an incredible act of will just to *move.*

I'm so happy to hear that this officer knew that his family would have stood by him and that he had NO problem dealing with the jerk face. It's good to hear something good about cops because my brother is one of those good guys and it's really good to hear about it from another person who was also a good man. Police are NOT the enemy but most of the time people don't hear about it. We only hear about the bad cops of which there are quite a few of them out there, but there are also a LOT more good cops.

What a great story, this girl was lucky and blessed to have the cop deal with this guy. I am amazed at how much trust, some woman, put into what starts out as mundane situations, only to see them fall apart quickly. (NOT in anyway saying this about this incident) I happened to have watched two forensic files about woman who went to bars and left with the guy after having just met him, he killed two of them, the other episode was about a woman giving two guys a ride, she was murdered too. And yes, I realize this had little to do with this particular incident, this is just how my over active mind works. Don't be so trusting of people and always have a back up plan to help yourself.

If you really don't know the person or their capability Drive your own car, meet them first you can leave if you need to. He didn't have any respect for her because he picked her up.

One hot day a friend walked into the pub and said: "there are two dogs locked in a car outside and they've been there for at least two hours." We go outside and sure enough there they are locked in. I said: "I'll take this one," and banged a screwdriver on the side window - shattering it. The dogs come and join us in the pub for much needed water. Some time later an outraged couple stormed in demanding to know what had happened to their car and dogs. I showed them my Fireman ID and informed them that if lives or property are in danger I am legally entitled to break into anything I damn well please. Your dogs are in the corner now f**k off. Didn't have to buy a pint for the rest of the evening.

Can you prove the story of Peter and the Wolf is true or false? What about if I told you a story about how a single person stopped a division of Chinese military tanks by walking in front of them? Fake or real? What about people who have climbed Everest? Maybe the story of the Fox and the Hound is not actually made up? The point is the story, rather false or true, is to incite thought. To make you think if you would get involved or not and why. Would you call the police, why or why not. Are you the assbag in the story threatening the woman? DO you have a lack of respect for the law and order of the nation? Would the people you typically associate with step in? WHy or Why Not? To simply post..."oh its fake, theres no way that would happen like that...." is a copout to actually having to use your noodle to process thought. WHo cares if it is fake... It should remind you to be a good person for all people.

My partner and I were driving and passed a bus stop where a man was beating a woman up. I offered to call the police but instead she got out of the car and got involved.

The guy quickly left the bus stop and we gave the girl a ride to where she needed to go.

I would have intervened as well. Cop or no cop. I would have called 911 on my cel, told my date to give the address here, what the problem was and tel them to step on it. Because I'm pretty sure the asshat wouldn't have behaved himself if the cop wasn't there. So.... Heads or Tails: Heads - I come up from behind, sleeper hold, wait for police, and give her a ride home or go in cuffs for saving her and assaulting him. Tails - confront him, offer her a ride home, potential fight.

Ok I've had enough of this. I read thro the comments and saw a bunch of jerks who said it was boring, fake, or that the cop was racist or c**p like that. Well I hope your not to lazy to read this. How would you know if the story was fake or not? Personally, I think it's true. People are nice enough to stand up to others you know. The girl couldn't run because the guy knew where she lived and he did not seem like the kind of guy to get mad. The cop would not shoot the guy just because he was black, what the hell are you talking about? That is racist to think that a white cop will shoot a black man just for that reason. If the story was boring, don't comment! Or stop freaking reading! It's just common sense. Go ahead , down vote this, I don't care.

The question should arise- "why did she go out on a date with someone she obviously didn't know well enough to know this about him?" Some women LIKE being treated like that, apparently. Women should really be able to pick out these guys and not be put in this situation to begin with. That is why there are so many single/divorced mothers out there.

She can't walk home or take the bus or go home--he knows where she lives, and he used that as a threat against her.
