Law and order

I don't know why I find this little bit of dialogue hilarious. But I do.

An officer acting in perfect accordance with Kansas law regarding domestic violence gives the suspect the low down in three little words (four if you count the contraction).

Lady being arrested: Y'all ain't gonna do nothin' to him for shoving me?
Cop doing the arresting: Ma'am, you started the fight.
Lady: No, I'm talkin' about yesterday he shoved me.
Cop: No. We're not.

It's just heartening to hear some who knows so steadfastly where his responsibility stops, and someone else's starts.

I guess it helps I love old episodes of Cops, too.
