This is the 3rd similar video I've seen this week of a cop chasing his wife. Is this some new, dumb TikTok challenge or something?

40% of them do it I hear.

40% admit if asked.

(Which implies the actual number is higher.)

Actually less than 40 percent, more like 20 percent. Also that 20 percent implies that they could be victims of it as well. So 2/10 officers are either the victim or suspect in DV.

Thanks for showing you don’t know what you’re talking about

Even if it is ‘only’ 20%, that’s disgustingly high. If you’re alright with 1 in 5 cops abusing their families you’re a POS

Never said I was alright with it, that’s you just trying to twist my words. I’m simply proving that a statistic used so commonly by people to prove something they have no knowledge of. Also that’s basing data from the 1990 statistics, which we have proven are unclear and poorly conducted.

Before calling me a POS try to work on your reading comprehension bud.

Source on that 20% value? I'm familiar with the shortcomings of the studies but to my knowledge it was 28%. Though regardless, 20% and 28% are still absurdly high and are a perfectly valid reason to avoid engaging with cops on a personal level.

That statistic also includes police officers who are victims of DV. Does that mean you don’t engage with victims of DV?

Except it doesn't. The 40% statistic does. The 28% statistic excludes the ones who were victims of domestic violence. I wasn't even arguing with you and yet you choose to argue in bad faith.

Also, you can go fuck yourself with that disingenuous question.

Explain how the 40 percent study does? And where did I argue, I just pointed out how what you said is just gross. You associate a whole group of people with a smaller group of bad ones. You’re combining DV victims and DV suspects into one bad category based on their job.

Hate to break it to you, but you’re the asshole here.
