Just because a person makes a claim, doesn't mean it is what they say it is. We've had plenty of examples of lies being brough forth to enrich a particular person or group with no verification that what is being claimed is the truth. The rush to judgement is a mistake imho. The truth will come out and then there will be plenty of time to point fingers.

Are you comparing a traffic violation to a DV? Thats like saying murder is not a big deal because check fraud is also a felony.

What I'm saying is that a misdemeanor isn't something to get all dramatic about. What I'm saying is that a misdemeanor charge is not domestic violence like punching someone. I'm saying that maybe everybody should slow down on judgment until more is known. Obviously the police didn't view it as a dangerous situation for either party.

I get what you mean but a DV is not comparable to a traffic violation.

read the Florio article, unless there is a smoking gun or a metoo backlash the dude will suit up and play

Wide range of DV actions

Ray Rice beating the s**t out of his wife in an elevator is one extreme

Pushing/shoving is on the other end of the extreme

49ers need more details before they act

Maybe he was showing her how he was going to sack Hurts and took it a little too far

Hhmmm...makes you think. Wasn't the city of SC and Yorks feuding?

PD probably has a memo that any incident involving sF players results in arrest.

You think a Seahawks player gets arrested for similar incident in their city? Lynch and several other players have been "investigated" for DV, DUI, etc and never results in arrest or missing games.

California has pretty strict laws on DV.

I believe police must arrest regardless.

I could be wrong - will wait for a lawyer/LEO to chime in.

You may be right. They probably have stiffer DUI laws than Seattle as well.

The latter is HIGHLY likely

Take 2 on this, as I tagged the wrong PD earlier. Apologies for that screwup. This from @SJPD_PIO on the arrest of #49ers DE Charles Omenihu after his girlfriend reported he pushed her to the ground. Police observed no physical injuries, though she complained of arm pain. pic.twitter.com/pYV3gF88b9

So the man is arrested simply on her word with no evidence?

What do you mean no evidence? Evidence #1: An incident happened between her and Omenihu where she felt the need to call the police. Most people do not just call the police just because. Evidence #2: She stuck around and provided her statement to police. Evidence #3: Omenihu stuck around and provided his statement to police.

Exactly, absolutely no evidence whatsoever. I rest my case!

Lol good thing you aren't Omenihu's lawyer because he'd be done if you are resting your case on that.

Good thing you aren't either, because the "evidence" you provided don't prove he did anything to her. She called the police and alleged that he pushed her down. The police found no visible evidence to support her claim, and I'm told she denied medical attention. So, he was arrested solely on her word alone. Now, are you're claiming that her allegation alone suffices as evidence?

For starters, I never said that any of that proved he did anything to her. What I did was provide you with 3 different examples of evidence since you stated there was no evidence in you original question. Whether you want to acknowledge it as such, well that's on you. But those 3 examples can, and will, likely be used in court, assuming she wants to press charges and the DA agrees to file charges against him.

I'm a LEO:

I havent looked at any of the allegations but will say this; DV in California is a double edged sword...and we can thank our own OJ Simpson for how its treated. If any allegation is made it is a mandatory arrest. The days of a couple had a squabble over something and the dude goes and "walks it off" are gone.

Cops get called to an athletes home over a DV situation and the female says anything to the point she was touched, no matter how little, and even in situations of mutual combat the guy is going down, especially a guy his size. Ray Rice like stated is the extreme where anyone with a conscience would say throw away the key... most are involving jealousy from social media or something in his phone and she lost it and probably did something to start the whole event but he goes down because he's bigger and stronger and she makes a statement that alleges he put his hands on her...regardless of how it was instigated or her involvement in the situation hes getting booked.

Like I said I haven't looked at the allegations but based on how this usually goes in regards to a misdemeanor offense... its anger and jealousy and the dude takes the fall.

EDIT: I should add... everyone wanted cops to wear body cams and anything recorded is public record...hence the reason once the statements made its memorialized and its a done deal.

If I were Kyle and John, I would make him inactive at minimum for the NFC Championship game pending him getting cleared of any wrong doing.

This isn't some episode of "Law and Order." This case won't be resolved for months. The 49ers have two choices. One, cut the guy. Two, give him another chance. That's it.

The 49ers have been BURNED by awarding second chances to players like this. I can think of two or three cases where they stuck by someone after a first offense, only to have a second shoe suddenly drop (McDonald, Foster, Miller). My thought is the 49ers cut ties with OmeniWHO. Either five seconds ago or after the season.

Did you ever think that maybe the "victim" doesn't want to press charges against Omenihu? And then because of her reluctancy, the DA declines to prosecute. That happens a lot and would resolve this quickly.
Regardless, I still stand by my statement that he should be inactive until this is all cleared up.

I'm sure Lynch/KS/DeMeco are going to get as much information as they can and make the right choice. They don't want a PR issue. If it turns out later that he did actually do something serious to her and they had prior knowledge, they will be crucified by the Bay Area and national media.

That being said, I don't think there's clearly much more to the story other than he said/she said. This leads me to believe he will play.
