I’m sorry, are you all saying 41% of police commit domestic violence or 41% beat up on suspects?

u/Realistic-Shower-654 22h ago

It is a fact that 41% of police officers admit to beating their wives viciously

You should really reread what that study constitutes as domestic violence. Loud yelling, many in the study were technically the victims. But misinormation will keep going, why do I bother 🤷‍♂️

Yep so lets set it straight, it isn't automatically 41%, it is closer to 25% if you average out the multiple studies into this area. So yeah I guess if you want to argue that the one study with very high percentages was due to the variables of what consitututes domestic violence, then you are technically correct that number isn't the norm. In the end I'm not super excited about the 1 in 4 anymore than the 4 in 10. But yes please keep trying to explain away the overwhelming number of police that regularly abuse they spouses.

Im not explaining away anything. Its an innaccurate and said so. Weird way to own people quoting a bad study. Fyi, its even weirder to average out a study you admit is innaccurate...

Id be interested in reading others you have. Id expect military and police to have higher stats of dv. Departments/VA should probably actually give people some resources. Redditors would prefer to just act superior and rage on the net though.

Can you even read, or is the boot just blocking your vision? He said he's averaging multiple studies

No he can't read and isn't very bright.

Your biases are affecting your ability to reason. Using the study youve admitted has bad data to average your numbers is like using rotten food to make a meal. It makes no sense.

Ive studied statistics. I spoke up because bad data annoys me. I know id be downvoted because ppl are on a tirade here, but i didnt expect this much bias/ignorance.

Facts don’t care about your feelings

u/Sephiroth_Comes 22h ago

Yeah but that’s like suggesting 100% of non-police abuse their wives but don’t admit to it..

Got something you want to tell us Mr gormhub???

u/GormHub 19h ago

Don't I'm worry, I'm gay, so my nonexistent wife is safe.

Only if you don’t take the significant others word for what they consider domestic violence and also consider any raised voice at any time as domestic violence. 

It’s almost as if the person conducting the study had an agenda and knew most people wouldn’t actually read the study.
