American police twice as likely to be sex offenders 13 Years, 2 Months ago  
www.informationliberation.com/?id=34433

According to the 3rd Quarter Report of The National Police Misconduct Statistics and Reporting Project, police officers were accused of sexual assault at a rate of 79 per 100,000 law enforcement personal. That is over two times the rate in the general public (28.7 per 100,000). The fact that rapists seem to be concentrated among a group of armed individuals who have the purported authority to detain and arrest other individuals should be more than a little alarming for even the most prolific police bootlicker. In just the last month, several stories of officers committing disgusting crimes have been in the news.

It does not surprise me that the accusation level is higher against the police than the public since police have always been open to allegation more than most. The statistic that counts are the conviction levels. Do you have them?
It appears from your post that you assume those merely accused are all guilty. Is this a correct conclusion?

Actually I didn't make any comment, I left the link and the quote for people to draw their own conclusions.

No, I don't assume that everyone accused is guilty, but I would also expect that police officers would have an (unfairly) lower conviction rate as well. As we've seen in the UK time and time again, it is basically impossible for a police officer to be convicted of killing a civilian, even when they leave unarmed civlilian's brains hanging out on the floor of tube carriages and subsequently deliberately and grotesquely lie about the circumstances (in fact, no police officer has ever been convicted of unlawfully killing a civilian in the UK).

I also dispute the assumption that police officers would have a higher false accusation rate. And even if that were true you would expect it to be counterbalanced by the number of real victims too afraid to report a crime committed by the police.

You would also expect, if the feminists are right and rape is about power, for those who seek jobs that involve power over other people to have personalities attracted to rape. Likewise with paedophilia.

Sorry for the misapplied post. I failed to realize that the quote was not your own.
I stand by my words in regard to the quote however and I maintain that there is no merit in such articles because there is no merit in an accusation until it is a conviction.
I believe it is disingenious and to post (even as a third party) such information in order to establish amongst readers that somehow, police are more prone to rape than the general public.
It is a fact that blacks are far more likely to be stopped/searched and arrested than whites in London. Do we conclude that blacks are more prone to criminality than Whites. When we look at the conviction rates, there is little difference despite the disproportionate attention to blacks.
Now I maintain that conviction rates are the only appropriate data but I will now play devil's advocate and suppose that there is merit in the report, hence the following questions.

1)Are the police conditiioned to become more liable to rape when joining the police force?
2)Are those persons inclined to rape, attracted to the police force and if so for what reason?
3)If none of the above apply, for what reason are the police disproportionately rapists?

To Blackit.
Please disregard my previous questions as I see that you have answered them in your prior post, your theory being that would be rapists are attracted to the police force due to the position of power. If such a theory were correct, it should be reflected in disproportionate rape convictions amongst police. I myself am not aware of any such anomaly but would be interested in to know if such exists. My instincts tell me that no such anomaly
