The claim from a heavily cited report from the National Center for Women & Policing cites the studies; one done in 1991, the other in 1992.
"Two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence, in contrast to 10% of families in the general population," the National Center for Women & Policing says. "A third study of older and more experienced officers found a rate of 24%, indicating that domestic violence is 2-4 times more common among police familie
Coming from a country that *does* that, it's marvellous to know that you can trust the police not to shoot you and your dog just because an acorn fell on their car.
strange how when all they know is violence and to be big bullies at work... they do the same at home. the usa needs some serious police academy training... cant be a week of camping and you're given a gun and a badge.. most countries take years to train their recruits. that time isnt spent looking at clouds either.

You need to redo the system from the ground up because it's rooted in systematic racism and it's controlled by capitalists.

We tried that over and over for generations. I don't think police can be reformed without a revolution.
