Poll: “Defund The Police” Is Extremely Unpopular

Black Lives Matter has unleashed a crime wave.

USA Today:

“Support to redistribute police department funding has decreased among Americans since August after a summer of protests had erupted across the country against racial injustice and police brutality, a recent Ipsos/USA TODAY poll found.

The call to redistribute police budgets stemmed from Black Lives Matter activists and protesters who called to “defund the police” after the deaths of unarmed Black Americans who died at the hands of police, such as George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. …

Only 18% of respondents supported the movement known as “defund the police” and 58% said they opposed it. Though whites (67%) and Republicans (84%) were much more likely to oppose the movement, only 28% of Blacks and 34% of Democrats were in favor of it. …”

Only 38% of Americans now believe George Floyd was murdered.

Last summer, 60% of Americans trusted the Black Lives Matter movement to “promote justice and equal treatment of people” compared with 56% who trusted local police to do that. The numbers have since flipped with trust in Black Lives Matter falling to 50% and trust in local police and law enforcement has rising to 69%. This comes after lots of big cities controlled by Democrats took action to condemn the police while unleashing criminals.
