Not going to downvote, statistics are not an exact science and numbers are easy to fudge. What I am here to say is ACAB. There are no “Nicholas Angle”s out there, only “Frank Butterman”s
Fun fact: The 40% figure is based on one single study that was a self-report study from the early 1990s, asking police whether a disagreement with their spouse had ever gotten “physical.” A follow-up study found a rate of 24%, also from the 1990s. It’s actually hard to find numbers since then (partly because it’s just inherently a hard topic to study), but assuming that every one of those self-reports was a wife beater, and that nothing has changed since 1992 (0% change in the culture of policing or the handling of domestic violence) seems unlikely.
TL;DR I don’t know what percent of police officers are wife beaters but it isn’t 40%, and claiming that it is is gleefully misrepresenting the truth; using the very outlandishness of it to claim that the cops are outlandishly and cartoonishly evil
I realize that this information will be unwelcome, and I eagerly anticipate your downvotes. Why are you booing me I’m right
the cops are outlandishly and cartoonishly evil
We keep hoping it isn’t true, and continue to be proven wrong.

OP shows 2 cops dragging a student by her hair for protesting a genocide.
In what world are these people not outlandishly and cartoonishly evil?
Like even if you ignore that they uphold an unjust system designed to protect capital and oppress the working class, as we’re seeing in 4K on campuses across the country, and we saw in 2020, individually, “outlandishly and cartoonishly evil” is an apt descriptor for people who respond to protests against state violence by beating the shit out of teenagers.

I have no part in this, because I don’t live in the US, but basing your argument on a picture of two (one?) cop being a dick, does not make all cops dicks. They may be, but this picture shouldn’t be proof of it as you imply on this comment. No pictures are being taken of cops doing the job properly, let alone being shared online. Besides that, one bad cop does not make all cops bad. This may be turning into a Bear/Man discussion so I will leave it at this
My point is, yeah they might be dicks, but I think that it is fair to point out false facts and arguments even though they support a notion that is true
1 bad cop, protected by 9 “good” cops is 10 bad cops. It doesn’t matter which one in particular has you in a choke-hold, all of them are necessary for that one to do what he is doing.
