In reply to the discussion: re: the afghan woman stoned to death: there are certain sects in THIS country (not just muslim) [View all]Lee-Lee
(6,324 posts)68. I already said your link is about a real problem but that doesn't change the facts
That women are aggressor in DV cases somewhere around 40-45% of the time.
You seem to think that somehow point out that DV is an issue in police families, which it is, somehow changes the fact that women are often aggressors in DV.
One fact doesn't negate the other. DV is a problem in LE (although I question your links talk of the severity) and women are aggressors in 40-45% of DV cases. Both of those realities exist. You seem to be in denial of the latter and desperate to not acknowledge that it's reality.

Yep. And there have been cases where the woman's OWN FUCKING FATHER participates in the stoning.

There is one common denominator in domestic abuse and it isn't what you are trying to make it.

It's reality. Sorry if it conflicts with the fantasy land you evidently live in.

Yes it does. I'm sure those officers you arrested, not in your agency of course, were women.
