"My statement was obviously an exaggeration. It was not meant as advice to be taken literally," he said. "The overwhelming majority of men are not violent and are not criminals."

I guess better advice would be how to get background information on prospective partners and, if there's no history in the courts or from former partners, what some red flags to look for might be. How do you differentiate the safe men from the dangerous ones?

From the article, the chief and the reporter got threats afterward. A bit ironic to want to do violence to someone who warned that relationships can become violent.
