CRIMINY, last summer too, GALLUP of 36,000!

81% of Black Americans Don't Want Less Police Presence Despite Protests—Some Want More Cops: Poll

BY JOCELYN GRZESZCZAK @ Newsweek/com, 8/5/20 AT 2:08 PM EDT

A majority of Black Americans have said they want police presence in their area to either remain the same or increase, despite recent protests over police brutality, according to new polls.

A Gallup poll conducted from June 23 to July 6 surveying more than 36,000 U.S. adults found that 61 percent of Black Americans said they'd like police to spend the same amount of time in their community, while 20 percent answered they'd like to see more police, totaling 81 percent. Just 19 percent of those polled said they wanted police to spend less time in their area.

Black Americans' responses to the question were nearly on par with the national average, in which 67 percent of all U.S. adults said they wanted police presence to remain the same and 19 percent said they wanted it to increase [....]

HOW THE HECK did so many of MSM sources and liberal politicians GET SO HOODWINKED by BLM's narrative and agenda? I realize it was a lot of millennial activism of the white elite liberal sort that done it. BUT STILL.

Such a mass delusion for the history books! It's going to be treated as only slightly less mad than the election and reign of Trump, I swear. And paid for it and are paying for it with loss of rule of law, chaos. It's worse than Trump, actually, because he least always had 40% support. This upheaval of reality has been manufactured by like 15%.

Patrick Sharkey: Why do we

from Patrick Sharkey: June 2020 op-ed Why do we need the police?

So interesting that a major scholar must describe "one of the most robust findings" in criminology -- that "more police officers in the street leads to less violent crime" -- as one of its "most uncomfortable findings."

Seems pretty intuitive. https://t.co/mZWxujP78T pic.twitter.com/5yR3ZALxkL

This “no more policing” tweet is getting bookmarked by lots of 2022 campaigns for when Rep. Tlaib claims she actually doesn’t want to abolish the police. https://t.co/bMDnqdNN3A

he's right how easily elites buy into a narrative from media coverage of it is "insane and terrifying":

This data consistent with the big Gallup poll showing similar findings.

It’s insane and terrifying how such a small cohort of Americans made defunding the police a realistic option

Josh Marshall and Yglesias in December:

As we know people mean greatly different things by abolish or defund the police. But it's remarkable the degree to which many people do not realize that actually getting rid of police forces is a shocking and completely unsupportable idea to the vast majority of the country.

This seems important. "Defund the police" may really have hurt Democrats' standing with nonwhite voters.https://t.co/kxmqvDXO3V pic.twitter.com/tdCAjq3STk

The broader implication in here is that Democrats should take it seriously when many nonwhite Dems identify themselves as moderate or conservative. And it's usually conservative on social/cultural issues more than on economics. If Dems lose those voters, they're kind of screwed.

I guess many initially went on the presumption that the slogan "Black Lives Matter" didn't necessarily mean "cut down on the number of police"? Go figure.
