    And you're biased due to personal experience with "the blacks." So?

    I'll ignore the logical fallacies in this for now, and just ask: What about the sexual assault rate that's more than DOUBLE the normal population?

    And please do explain to me how what I stated is an illogical fallacy. A law enforcement officer will have a much greater chance of being in a situation of using excessive force than the general population. How can you deny that?

    Seriously? Those charts are per capita - number of sexual assaults for 100k population.

    yes? Still it is a smaller sample size. Extrapolating data is not always indicative of the truth.

    Does the general population include children? I hope 9 year olds are not committing sexual assult.

    Majority of law enforcement officers are adult males. All of them are adults. The general population includes children, women, mentally disabled individuals.

    Police criminality

    Unless you are controlling for age and sex, these charts are meaningless.

    Well sure as heck beats being told what to believe in by Hannity, Rush or whoever you pledge your allegiance too.

    When someone starts talking about the sample size of a poll it's a good bet they're just arguing from a position of denial anymore.

    Polls of that size are pretty darn reliable. When you say they aren't, it's really just another way of giving up.

    Well when the local chief of police tells your grieving female relative that he won't investigate the murder of her husband because he was a "******"......the mistrust for law enforcement becomes a part of your family history.

    If you take some neck who's lucky to have a couple of semesters at Sam Houston State, was rejected by the military and is too stupid to be a fireman and give him a gun and virtually unlimited authority over the lives of law abiding citizens what do you think is going to happen?

    The USA has the highest documented incarceration rate in the world. Do the math.

    Yes it makes total sense to compare the general population to law enforcement when it comes to sexual assault. One side is predominantly male ages ranging from 20 to 50 while the other side has babies, children, mentally handicapped, physically handicapped, women, and old men who can't even get it up.

    For every 1 bad cop story, I have 4-5 good cop stories. But to say bad cops (lie to search because you meet the profile) don't exist is young foolishness.

    Just admit it.
    You have no real interest in the answer to the question you originally asked.
    You came to defend cops at all costs
    And attempt to dismiss everything and everyone
    That thinks or had a different opinion.

    We got it. You love cops.
    We have noted it.
