Dude, not really OK dropping slurs when you’re not really read up on this.

The data itself is highly questionable.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-posts-claiming-40-110000305.html

In sum, an extensive search found that the two studies originating in the early 1990s were the only ones that shared a "40%" statistic purporting to reveal how many police officers admitted to being violent toward their partners. The Neidig study's results muddied the issue by including abuse perpetrated by the officers' spouses. The Johnson study applied an overly vague definition of violence.

Cops are bad, but bad data is also bad.

He wanted sources and I gave them. Done deal.

As for the slur, was it my best judgement? No. But I was speaking from the heart
