There's even an acronym for it ! OIDV. Officer-involved domestic violence.
I can't remember the numbers but I think 40% of police admitted to it. What about all the officers that wouldn't admit to it ?
Officer-involved domestic violence (OIDV) is a national problem, with police officer families having higher rates of domestic violence than non–police officer families. OIDV is also an underresearched problem with few studies or proposed solutions. Many victims of OIDV do not report their abuse precisely because their abuser is a police officer, whom they fear is in a unique position to protect him/herself from any legal consequences.
Two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence, (1, 2) in contrast to 10% of families in the general population.(3) A third study of older and more experienced officers found a rate of 24% (4), indicating that domestic violence is 2 4 times more common among police families than American families in general.
They’re stolen so often too, we tow so many for the police. When we get one in a wreck, it’s always mangled to all hell because people drive them as you described.

They're so committed to Trump that they even drive a Dodge (him being a draft dodging anti-vet coward piece of shit). Gotta respect that commitment.
