Except… deport them. You want to also deport military and those in the medical profession? Or really anyone in a high stress job that has a higher rate of domestic abuse? Or do we just care about your trauma/life experiences?
Like I already said I was being a bit tongue in check and made up a hypothetical situation based on trump talking about deporting citizens. Don't get your panties in bunch dude, everyone else has seemed to understand what I meant besides you
My underware is in a bunch… not my panties… just to be clear. 😉
Then explain why they are wife beaters at a much higher rate than the general population?
Stress. It’s not because they sit around the donut shop bragging about how they smacked around their wife. Military and medical professionals are high on that list as well.Then explain why they are wife beaters at a much higher rate than the general population?
Domestic Violence Within Law Enforcement Families: The Link Between Traditional Police Subculture and Domestic Violence Among Police
The most recent research in police domestic violence has shown that officers may perpetrate domestic violence at a higher rate than the general population, 28% versus 16%, respectively (Sgambelluri, 2000). Traditional police sub-culture has been identified, in several studies, as contributing to...digitalcommons.usf.edu
I'm sure teachers writ large don't like colleagues sleeping with minors but it doesn't change that it's a problem in that profession relative to others.
I would be curious if the profession itself attracts a certain type of person to.
A lot of ex military probably doesn't help the cause.
I had not considered this. I'm inclined to agree.
The biggest issues that I've seen from being around police for the majority of my life, are ex military, way too short of training periods, as well as police officers not living in the communities they serve. Taking steps to resolve those issues would go a long way towards resolving a lot of the issues we see in the police force currently
I will take you at your word there, because jobs like that come with a lot of responsibility and the potential for legit bad shit to happen. The Daniel Shaver (i think his name) video kinda blackpilled me on that. Obviously that's one example and there are many others that don't go viral or anything. I think it's important to also give some grace to people working a job like that.
Perfectly said. We share the exact same view when it comes to the more localized the better.
Maybe but overall policing is a shitty and thankless job. There are so many external issues that affect policing and affect their stress level. Nobody wants to work where they live, especially not in this anti police climate. And nobody wants to live in areas that need a heavy police presence. Hiring military… sadly what do most military have to come back to? Usually the military coming back to a police job are the ones that scored low on their ASFAB and couldn’t get into some technical military position and was bottom barrel to begin with. I don’t like these guys policing the community but the communities do an awful job at supporting military when they come back and do an awful job at supporting police as a whole. Police numbers are generally low and they are understaffed. 1 in 5 police are military. Too many, maybe… but to be fair it does seem like a seamless fit considering their skill level and the police need for bodies. What else are they going to do and who else are the police going to hire?
I agree that we should handle our own criminals. Having said that, shipping them out is an interesting concept. If criminals knew they were getting deported for committing a crime, we might see a reduction in crime.
It's the stress. Stress is also why law enforcement has the highest divorce rate of any profession. Police take a lot of serious crap all the time and it builds up. I've always said that police should have to meet with someone in mental health every 4 -6 months to to decompress.Then explain why they are wife beaters at a much higher rate than the general population?

I understand every point and I don't disagree. With that said I still believe the points I made help improve upon the anti police climate. That climate arises from a community vs police culture and I believe improves if the police are members of the community so they're not seen as outsiders. There needs to be more community outreach as well.
Agreed, and ex military going into the police force should have to go thru a thorough mental health evaluation before being on a police force, or just in general tbh. It's part of how I see us not supporting our veterans enough when they're finished with their military careers
Ex-military, typically low achieving HS students who can only hack it at a two year CC, rednecks, racists. The usual.
I attended a juco where they did police training and had an interaction with police that was very impactful in how I view them, and it also forced me and my friends to have a conversation I never would have had otherwise.
You aren't wrong.
I think you guys cracked the code. We need more democrats in the military and applying to be police officers… why don’t democrats want to serve and protect?
Because they are overqualified.
If that's what you took away from my post then I don't know what to tell you
You have admitted a few times in the last two days how a few moments in your life have impacted the way you look at police officers. I’m going off what you are telling me. But I was probably more responding to boa.
And nowhere did I say anything about Democrats in the military or police force, but I did lay out ways to improve the police force.
It’s your implication in responding to Bua.
