Yes, because one emotionally-charged incident gives us enough information to determine everything about them. It's almost like you've already decided the worst of them and that's the point you're going to argue for irrespective of any context etc.
They are both doctors, although the wife retired I think. Do you know how they were with their patients? Do you know how they were with colleagues? Were they bad doctors? Did they have numerous complaints or incidents where they were aggressive, rude or just took time out from their work to go around assaulting people and sticking two fingers up at the establishment? Do you know any of this?
I don't. All I know, from the media, is that there was an incident where the father pushed a doctor who was stopping him from seeing his daughter (not exactly representative of his character here), didn't respond well to the police and was then pretty much assaulted himself. I've already said that the whole situation could have been better dealt with, and there's not much else since we've not been given the whole picture.
Yes, leaving his daughter and going with the police would have been the correct and sensible thing to do, but I've never been in his position, and I hope I never am.
