Mystery malware destroys 600,000 routers from a single ISP during 72-hour span:
An unknown threat actor with equally unknown motives forces ISP to replace routers.
One day last October, subscribers to an ISP known as Windstream began flooding message boards with reports their routers had suddenly stopped working and remained unresponsive to reboots and all other attempts to revive them.
Is it valid to say 40% of American police officers perpetrate domestic violence?
After half an hour digging through empirical #research I think I can confidently say "no." Why? Because we have no real idea how much DV is perpetrated by cops. Because nobody can really study it with solid methods. Because (IMO, anyway) a lot of scholars are kind of scared of #cops .
One guy testified for Congress in 1991, and he gets cited a lot, but his #ResearchMethods were not perfect. Then the rate of good research on this went down for the next 30 years.
Lots of opinions, "perceptions of...", etc., but `` numbers? I'm currently not finding any I trust a whole lot. One lit review (2016) found estimates of #DomesticViolence rates from 5% to 40%. Another article just said "Probably about the same as the general public," after clearly misreading a couple of previous estimates.
Anyway, nobody knows how much domestic violence police commit, and it sort of feels like the police want it to stay that way.
