>>Seven of 10 whites polled, or 70 percent, said they can imagine a situation in which they would approve of a police officer striking an adult male citizen, according to the 2014 General Social Survey, a long-running measurement of trends in American opinions. When asked the same question—“Are there any situations you can imagine in which you would approve of a policeman striking an adult male citizen?”—42 percent of blacks and 38 percent of Hispanics said they could. …
The survey should also ask, “Can you imagine a situation where you would strike an adult male.” I bet the percentages along racial lines would be reversed.
Interesting thought.
And likely true.
