40% of cops beat their spouses

40% of cops freely admit to abusing their spouses, when guaranteed anonymity.

Also, rubber bullets being fired at head height are punching holes into store windows. Protesters don't use rubber bullets, but the damage will be blamed on them anyway.

They call them rubber bullets, but they're not rubber bullets. They're rubber coated cannonballs.
protesters don't use rubber bullets
Yes, because they're all so bloodthirsty.

Don't bullshit us. They don't cry about it.
Oh, they don't hesitate and you know it.

Won't somebody think of the billionaires

I do it all the time: smoked, stewed, or braised with fresh vegetables and a dry white wine.
- If you could actually eat him to end him, but had to finish ALL of him, hair and nails and guts included, in less than 72 hours, and if you failed, he would come back even stronger and you and everybody you knew would die, would you?

I will never understand the mind of the shitlib. "No please, don't respond to the overwhelming violence with violence of your own!" The actions of this country are sickening, but it seems like liberals are able to tolerate it in the name of "peace" even once it comes home.

Reactive abuse (self defense?) is always used to shift responsibility.
Eta: also abuse by proxy.

that's the SELF REPORTED number! in reality it's much, much higher.

Oh no, a bunch of megacorporations lost a few million dollars. Im truly pouring one out for my favorite megacorporations and I hope they have a good fiscal quarter /s

a few million dollars
Maybe on the insurance claim lmfao.
I didn't know Ostriches could type!? You have to be one, since you've got your head stuck in the ground or something, because megacorps weren't the only ones being looted. I even recall a clip where a bunch of looters were trying to pull open a door to a small store.

- Truthfully, a few opportunistic looters is not reason enough to shut down protests against fascism. Yes, it is unfortunate if any small businesses were affected by looting. No, its not a gotcha.
- Even small businesses have insurance. Especially in California. Ask me how I know.
  Oh, and you saw a clip? Do you live in LA, or even CA? Are you sure that clip was this particular batch of protests and not old footage?

Property damage is not violence.

Omg did corporate america have to take a miniscule loss. Send in the military!

The other 60% lie better.

Oh snap

That isn't really true.

The Neidig study stated in its abstract, "Survey results revealed that approximately 40 percent of the participating officers reported marital conflicts involving physical aggression during the previous year." However, that "physical aggression" included violence perpetrated by the officers' spouses. The results for violence perpetrated in the relationship in general was 41% for male officers and 40% for female officers. Importantly, Neidig's results for violence specifically perpetrated by the officers against their spouses were much lower: 28% for male and 27% for female.

So 28% is the number, really, and "physical violence" is not necessarily the same thing as "beating their spouse." That could mean shoving them, or pulling their arm or something. One criticism of the original study is how vaguely it defines "physical violence".

I know I will be labeled as a bootlicker, and I swear I'm not, I just don't like misinformation and on lemmy all the misinformation is leftist. On PCM on reddit I spend my time calling out conservative BS.

The one thing I'd point out here - physical abuse is physical abuse. "Just shoving them" is still physical abuse.
Getting punched in the face doesn't need a clarification as to whether a bone was broken or not, its still a punch to the face.
I'd also note that according to the CDC around 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men have experienced some degree of physical abuse in their lifetime. So the rate for police - in their active relationship and self-reported by officers against their own spouses - is still drastically higher than the average.
Agreed on the inaccuracies of information though.
- Yes, I am not trying to downplay the seriousness of any physical violence, or ignore the fact police officers are more likely to be domestic abusers. However, the post title does say "beat their spouses" which to me implies, at the very least, the intent to harm and actually inflicting physical harm, neither of which are implied in physical violence.
Regardless of the methodology, the figure is meaningless in isolation. What's meaningful about the study is the comparison to other professions using the same methodology.

Also, the stores were probably hit by riot munitions.

40% admit to beating their spouses...

This meme is fantastic 10/10

Apple shouldn't support tyrants if they want sympathy. It's not likenirs a franchise.

The stores were asking for it

I wish my spouse would beat me off now and then

I can help with that

wont these phones just gonna get locked by apple by imei anyway?

I agree there's a lot of abusers in the police. The 40% is an unreliable study, it's old and counts really low level things like slamming doors as domestic abuse. Big issue is not considering the pattern of behaviour and coercive control. For example she finds out he's cheated and slaps him in a one off assault... illegal, but ongoing coercive control isn't there. DA perps in the police needs more research really, which hopefully will happen.

Maybe those megacorps should have another disincentive for aiding and abetting murder, treason, and genocide then. Just a thought.

Plus those ads, I mean, did you see what they were wearing?

More people need to reflect the way society treats women onto these corporate giants that actively work against our self-interest as the general populace.

That said, there's very rarely a good reason to hurt local business, so I do hope they stay away from mom and pops.

Nice
