[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2747253, member: 13624"] I lived in the dorms at OU, where they teach statistics, so you blew that one. BTW: I got A's in my stats classes. Just so you know. I agree entirely with the "memory distortion" argument. The "cops are special; mere proles don't need that protection" is a crock of **** big enough to fertilize all of Texas. Sure. I'll even try not to use big words. Let's assume that out of every thousand police contacts, IA sustains five complaints. That means the rate of bad behavior is 5 in 1000. However, if IA receives, say, fifty complaints, twenty of which are valid, but IA only sustains five, then the "apparent" rate is 5 in 1000, while the "real" rate would be 20 in 1000. So, if IA has a bias toward its brother officers, the "apparent" rate will be lower than the "true" rate. Does that make sense? [/QUOTE]
