You don't need statistics to invalidate statements such as : "ALL people of X Group are like that".

That is the definition of stereotypical and prejudice.

Ok, fair point. You win. Not ALL cops are like this. Only over 40% of cops beat their wives. So if you bump into a cop, it’s close to the same statistics as flipping a coin if they go home and beat their spouse.

You kidding me? The stats you provide say in the first scentence "40% of police officer families experiance domestic violence." And you're equating that to "40% of all cops beat their wives"...

You're just parroting studies and taking a superficial look at the data. What about cops that experianc domestic abuse at the hands of their spouse? Yeah, that's lumped in that 40%...

Thanks for the data reference, but your interpretation of data (objectively) needs a lot of work.

So let me get this straight.. your argument against this is that it’s possible that the spouses are being abusive towards their cop spouse? 10% of all families report domestic abuse, whereas 40% of cop families reported abuse. Either the common connection to this high number are the cops or the highly unlikely chance that all these cops are marrying abusers. That makes no sense. Bad argument. Bad whataboutism. Your skewed and biased look into the data needs work.

Skewed and biased? Your studies that you reference are garbage, and your logic is garbage. I could poke a thousand holes is your 'argument' that '40% of all cops in the US are wife beaters' but just that statement alone is moronic. You're using stats (poorly) to validate your narrative. Waste of time...
