Blue Lives Matter Pt. 2
Two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence, (1, 2) in contrast to 10% of families in the general population.(3) A third study of older and more experienced officers found a rate of 24% (4), indicating that domestic violence is 2-4 times more common among police families than American families in general. A police department that has domestic violence offenders among its ranks will not effectively serve and protect victims in the community.5, 6, 7, 8 Moreover, when officers know of domestic violence committed by their colleagues and seek to protect them by covering it up, they expose the department to civil liability.7 Footnotes, sources, and original text: http://womenandpolicing.com/violenceFS.asp#notes
Your post's is arguing for the opposite of what your title is alluding to.
I think that's the "bait". Attracting people who think they will be reading about something they agree with and then throw them something entirely opposite just to see their reaction. 🤷♂️
OP - will you refer me to Netflix? I like the wlb that allows you to be on Blind all day.
"...according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, black offenders committed 52 per cent of homicides recorded in the data between 1980 and 2008. Only 45 per cent of the offenders were white." https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-black-americans-commit-crime
Won’t somebody please think of the children???
Here’s my take on it. Our hiring bar for cops is really low. Police academy. It’s easy to get through. Other countries that don’t have a problem with cops busting heads treat cops at a very dignified profession with a harder quality gate. Think quantico level vetting. A cop in this country is a prime job for Biff von fuckface from high school who bullied kids and needed a career where he can inflict power and authority on other people. We need to look at quality going into this system to get quality out of the system. Treat cops at the same level as the FBI. It won’t fix everything, but I’ll improve the quality of our law enforcement.
Is it low? Do you have examples of departments that have low bars? Because there certainly isn’t a consistent bar across the country thousands of different departments.
Wait, you mean to tell me the people that deal with the garbage of society are adversely affected by said garbage of society? Next you’ll tell me combat troops are adversely affected by shooting people and seeing their friends shot.
So... You're chill with it then?
In the same way I’m chilling with PTSD in combat troops. Tell me something new.
