A Gallup poll released on Wednesday shows that 81 percent of black Americans want the police presence to remain the same or increase in their neighborhood or area. According to the poll, “67 percent of all U.S. adults” also prefer the “status quo” when it comes to local police presence.
“Most Black Americans want the police to spend at least as much time in their area as they currently do, indicating that they value the need for the service that police provide,” the poll concludes.
Eighty-three percent of Hispanic Americans and 88 percent of white Americans share similar attitudes. In contrast, only 72 percent of Asian Americans say they would prefer increased or the same amount of police presence in their neighborhoods.
After an examination of factors such as volume and frequency of police interactions, however, researchers determined that neither were the most significant factor in dictating black Americans’ attitudes towards police presence in their area.
While “exposure comes with more trepidation for Black than White or Hispanic Americans about what they might experience in a police encounter,” poll analysis suggests that “simply having an interaction with the police in the past year has no bearing on black Americans’ preference for local police presence in their area.”
In cases where black Americans see police in their neighborhood, there is a “limited impact” on determining increased, the same, or decreased police appearances in their area.
“The slightly elevated frequency with which Black Americans see police in their neighborhood has limited impact on their preferences for changing the local police presence,” the poll explains. “About a third of Black Americans who say they often see the police in their neighborhood think the police should spend less time there (34%); however, the majority of adults in this group think they should spend the same amount of time (56%) or more time (10%).”
The most significant factor in determining attitudes towards police presence, according to Gallup is the “quality of the interaction.”
While “fewer than one in five Black Americans feel very confident that the police in their area would treat them with courtesy and respect,” only 13 percent of black Americans who were “treated respectfully” favor decreased police presence in their area while 87 percent want the same or increased number and frequency of police.
“Those harboring the least confidence that they will be treated well, or who have had negative encounters in the past, are much more likely to want the police presence curtailed,” the poll concludes.
A previous Gallup poll released in late July showed that only 22 percent of black Americans approved of abolishing police departments, while 90 percent showed great interest in “specific reforms aimed at improving police relations with the communities they serve and preventing or punishing abusive police behavior.”
Is it just me, or are tons of black people taking the red pill this year?
I actually think they are so far out on that public relations plank that they will not be able to pivot without self destructing. But that is fine with me.
Of course they do. Everyone except thugs want and need Police.
The party of the KKK and Jim Crow has figured out new ways to legally kill their former slaves, blacks in Blue Cities:
1. Defund the police:
Thanks to “defund the police” and the Democrat Blue cities going along with it, violent crime including homicide is surging in most of America’s largest blue cities. While the raw numbers are terrible for Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and other very large cities.

2. Hold massive BLM protests in Blue Cities with high Covid 19 infection rates. Like the one planned in DC for teachers, coordinated by the DNC’s long time BLM overseer, Al Sharpton.
Then, let the killer virus Covid 19 take out more blacks participating in the protests involving 100,000 BLMers, packed together, yelling and screaming while protesting. That will spread the CV 19 into their BLM mobs to take it home with them.
Marxist Democrat urban areas will become surreal 21st century ghost towns. Residential, commercial real estate and populations are declining daily. Soon, they will be haunted mostly by the strange and deranged. Street cops don’t even want to accompany the coroners to pick up the bodies much less perform active policing or peacekeeping.

No masks at this big funeral!
Could be red pilled...
Another option is conservatives have been pushing for the black community to be heard... NOT JUST SELF-APPOINTED ‘BLACK LEADERS’ to be heard... (Poverty pimps who make their living shaking down guilty white liberal ‘elites’..)
The real black community doesn’t want police de-funded, they don’t want more fake ‘non profits’ that don’t do crap for their community or more ‘community centers’ named after MLK. They want jobs and families and safe neighborhoods like the rest of us.
That’s what Trump sensed four years ago ... and they’re hearing him and they’re hearing us. Some are starting to run from the democrat plantation... There is hope.
It illustrates the #1 piece of white racism in America today.
That being white Liberals who think that black people are stupid.
