These neighbor disputes are some of the most volatile calls that cops can respond to. And from a self-defense versus mutual combat standpoint, what law enforcement will look at as well as what the courts will look at and take into consideration is who is the primary instigator who escalated the situation versus both sides willingly participating and engaging in physical battery against one another. And these long-term personal feuds are not only dangerous, but they can definitely be incredibly challenging from the investigative side of things. Witnesses can be biased. There's conflicting statements oftent times, not to mention trying to figure out what actually happened amidst the constant yelling and screaming and constantly having to separate some of these individuals to prevent them from fighting each other. That's why law enforcement relies heavily on physical evidence for these types of situations such as video, physical injuries, and independent witnesses if there happen to be. Police are not there to pick sides in personal drama. They're there to identify the primary legal aggressor in that situation. Ideally, stop the violence at least for the time being before it turns into something far worse. And these situations do have a tendency to escalate and go on for extended periods of time. >> Both women were charged with battery but remain innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
