My wife and I were having a discussion in a train station regarding which train to take. Because we had opposing opinions, our voices were slightly raised. A policeman walked up to me and asked me (first in German and then in English), "do you know this lady"?. I said "she's my wife!". Then he said "Okay, perfect!" and skipped away. At no point did he attempt to make any conversation with her.
What do you make of that?
BTW we're an interracial couple if that is of any relevance.

Somewhere on the internet, or TV perhaps, I came across a program in which an American or English couple rented an apartment in Germany. At one point a neighbour in the building came up and asked them if they were having a family dispute...they weren't. He was a policeman, which they had not known. It seemed people in the building took their loud talking for a fight.
Because you may have seemed like the aggressive, loud guy and he tried to step up for her. Why didn't you ask him?
It was over very quickly and he vanished as suddenly as he had appeared.
It still doesn't make sense. If you see X arguing with Y and you want to step up for X, you'd want to ask X if everything is okay.
"At no point did he try to make conversion with her" that led me to think you thought the police officer was sexist.
"BTW we are a interracial couple" which led me to think that you thought the police officer was racist.
You didn't merely ask a question, mate.
The amount you're reading into this is hilarious
You couldn't be more wrong with your conclusions, especially regarding the first question.
Thanks for attempting though.
