Yes, I liked even better the suggestion of an independent organisation set up to try to avoid that issue. Although I understand the IPCC is not exactly covered in glory ...
The point made by the woman interviewed on TV was that the police can't be seen as a refuge for domestic abusers if its to be effective in prosecuting that crime/able to support victims of DA.
I'm kind of hoping at some point someone says the police has a huge institutionalised misogyny problem and this has to be seen as part of that.
