New chant to me: "Look to your left! Look to your right! One of these cops beats their wives!" This refers to the statistic that 40% of cops beat their wives. It comes from a small mid-90s study. I'd prefer more research, but there hasn't been any Wonder why that is?

Replying to @1misanthrophile
I saw a KGW interview with Sgt Maxey, who said he sometimes tries to talk to protesters. I wonder if that's possible. What would two civil folks from opposite sides of this thing have to say to one another? I truly wonder that sometimes/all-of-the-fucking-time.
