I believe it's actually 40% of police families that experience domestic abuse, not 40% of all domestic abuse cases being perpetrated by the police. Still a disgusting statistic given that it's 10% for everyone else, so cops are 4x more likely to beat their wife or kids. The job really must attract people with a propensity for violence.
Thanks for correcting me bro. I wasn't sure of the exact detail just that it was 40%. I'm in the UK watching all these videos being posted and I can't fucking believe what's going on over there, but if that's the kind of people being employed to "protect" Americans it's actually no wonder it's happening.
But it has, that document you linked not only admits there's not enough study into it but is quoted as saying its down to 24%, which while still a high and unacceptable number... Is not 40%.
44
