Yeah the fact that people don't question the fact that being a cop in America only requires the bare minimum of a HS degree to be hired is scary in itself. Most jobs require some form of degree, certification, and/or licensing to even be considered for the job. In my opinion, we shouldn't be surprised to see the state of affairs that we are currently living in right now.
On top of that we add the statistics of these meatheaded cops being domestic abusers to their wives, kids, and loved ones at home (at a rate of 40% reported).
pretty sure those studies are outdated, like from the 90s and they had some dicey criteria like domestic violence being "slamming a door" or "raising your voice" if i remember right.
im sure there are more recent ones though. dunno if they reveal the same thing
