Around 1976, the local pd found my dad passed out in his running car in a local bar parking lot..... so they gave him a ride home.A fellow I know told me about an incident many years ago. His dad learned that a man in town had abused his underage relative. His dad went to the man's house, called him outside, and proceeded to start beating the crap out of him. The perp's wife called the cops. When the officer arrived and learned what had led to the situation, he said to my friend's dad: "just don't kill him". The beating continued. The perp moved out of town within days.
This sort of thing wouldn't happen today. Is that good or bad? I don't know.
