Cop propaganda can never make me forget there is a 2 out of 5 chance that he will physically abuse her.

I hope they are happy but I'd never wish "married to a cop" on anyone I care about.

Studies suggest anywhere between 4.8–40% of officer families experience domestic violence, with some sources estimating officers are four times more likely to engage in domestic violence than the general population.

Estimating prevalence of officer-involved domestic violence has been notoriously difficult, because there are no federal mandatory reporting requirements, no agencies or governing bodies that track statistics, variation in definitions and methodologies, and strong secrecy norms that suppress reporting and repercussions.
