Domestic violence murder rates are at an all time high, but advocates are concerned they may not be able to keep providing the services communities depend on due to major funding issues.
I’m surprised police were giving the shelter money to begin with.
40% of police officers self-report that they have used violence against their domestic partners within the last year. In the general population, it’s estimated that domestic violence occurs in about 10% of families.
Actually, it was a county health department that pulled its funding in response to the pro-BLM statement and law enforcement outcry. Police departments had been participating in “collaborative programming” with this organization (not sure if that’s just trainings or something else) and stopped doing that.
I expect it’s not the 40% who are donating. Its the officers who aren’t pieces of shit. The ones who see their colleagues abusing their partners but don’t feel like they can do anything about it because of the “thin blue line”.

And they usually get away with it too.

I can’t even imagine how much higher the real number is when all we have is those who openly admit it.
because now the partners of cops have one fewer places they will feel safe going to for help 😎

Your third sentence invalidates your second sentence. One cannot uphold the fat blue line without being a piece of shit criminal.
