Cops would be on paid leave if they were white but still, they’re really hyping this shit up to be catastrophic

Edit: Y’all wild for the downvotes, keep ‘em coming ya fucking bootlickers

[removed]

no thanks. I'll be fine with no snow this winter.

You ever had a cop screaming inches from your face? I take issue with "shouting" or "one incident" not constituting as abuse. If a man shouted in my face and shoved me ONCE, it's abuse.

I can only imagine how bad the video is going to be. Cops got fired and charged before it was even released….

Edit: spelling

Edit 2: If anyone is interested, this channel on YouTube is where I usually go to watch police body cam footage. All they do is put up whatever official footage is released by police departments and they usually do it very quickly. It's all uncut, unedited footage, and doesn't include commentary unless the police released it that way. Lots of boot lickers in the comments, but it's a good source of unbiased footage. Should also go without saying that the channel is VERY NSFW.

Edit 3: Just watched a couple of the videos they released. It’s bad.

Man your sources lost me with “pushing or shoving someone isn’t domestic violence” and that acting out of anger somehow negates the pattern of behavior.

We have all the evidence we need on video that cops are nothing but violent monsters. And mountains of proof that you can’t trust them to investigate their own. If you spend your work day pushing people around and beating up homeless people for fun, you’re likely to be just as violent to your spouse and children.

I LOVE the Camel!!! They’ve had some of my favorite bands play there and their beer is reasonably priced!

Where? When it’s go time I see red and bodies hit the floor, I should become champ

And you can drink a beer while you watch.

TLDR; The 40% number is wrong and plain old bad science. In attempt to recreate the numbers, by the same researchers, they received a rate of 24% while including violence as shouting. Further researchers found rates of 7%, 7.8%, 10%, and 13% with stricter definitions and better research methodology.

The 40% claim is intentionally misleading and unequivocally inaccurate. Numerous studies over the years report domestic violence rates in police families as low as 7%, with the highest at 40% defining violence to include shouting or a loss of temper. The referenced study where the 40% claim originates is Neidig, P.H.., Russell, H.E. & Seng, A.F. (1992). Interspousal aggression in law enforcement families: A preliminary investigation. It states:

Survey results revealed that approximately 40% of the participating officers reported marital conflicts involving physical aggression in the previous year.

There are a number of flaws with the aforementioned study:

The study includes as 'violent incidents' a one time push, shove, shout, loss of temper, or an incidents where a spouse acted out in anger. These do not meet the legal standard for domestic violence. This same study reports that the victims reported a 10% rate of physical domestic violence from their partner. The statement doesn't indicate who the aggressor is; the officer or the spouse. The study is a survey and not an empirical scientific study. The “domestic violence” acts are not confirmed as actually being violent. The study occurred nearly 30 years ago. This study shows minority and female officers were more likely to commit the DV, and white males were least likely.

An additional study conducted by the same researcher, which reported rates of 24%, suffer from additional flaws:

The study is a survey and not an empirical scientific study. The study was not a random sample, and was isolated to high ranking officers at a police conference. This study also occurred nearly 30 years ago.

More current research, including a larger empirical study with thousands of responses from 2009 notes, 'Over 87 percent of officers reported never having engaged in physical domestic violence in their lifetime.' Blumenstein, Lindsey, Domestic violence within law enforcement families: The link between traditional police subculture and domestic violence among police (2009). Graduate Theses and Dissertations. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/1862

Yet another study "indicated that 10 percent of respondents (148 candidates) admitted to having ever slapped, punched, or otherwise injured a spouse or romantic partner, with 7.2 percent (110 candidates) stating that this had happened once, and 2.1 percent (33 candidates) indicating that this had happened two or three times. Repeated abuse (four or more occurrences) was reported by only five respondents (0.3 percent)." A.H. Ryan JR, Department of Defense, Polygraph Institute “The Prevalence of Domestic Violence in Police Families.” https://www.researchgate.net/publication/308603826_The_prevalence_of_domestic_violence_in_police_families

Another: In a 1999 study, 7% of Baltimore City police officers admitted to 'getting physical' (pushing, shoving, grabbing and/or hitting) with a partner. A 2000 study of seven law enforcement agencies in the Southeast and Midwest United States found 10% of officers reporting that they had slapped, punched, or otherwise injured their partners. L.

This will be an absolute disaster. That signal at Grove and TC is already so insufferably slow… and now it’s going to be 10x worse.

It’s flawed because only 40% have been REPORTED for doing it. The number is likely significantly higher

They sent water and trash bills for your new address to your old address? Are you sure they weren't the bills for that old address that you moved out of?

I bought some at Wegmans and also at Fresh Market

Yum.

Weeks bad for cops

Weird it wasn't a drag queen. 🤔

I wouldn't call it a soup; the rice soaks up the liquid and it gets pretty thick. There's a gumbo recipe by the same guy that's more soup-like!

ACAB

I have been making a lot of soups lately, this might be next on the list.
