A new NPR-Marist poll found that 56% of Americans believe that the police are behaving appropriately or not being aggressive enough during the nationwide demonstrations after George Floyds death.
The survey, which was conducted Tuesday through Wednesday, asked 1,062 American adults about police behavior in relation to the protests about George Floyds death with a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points.
Out of all respondents, 18% said that the police were not being aggressive enough. The answers differed significantly along partisan lines, with 43% of Republicans saying that the police were not being aggressive enough compared to just 2% of Democrats. Responses also differed by race; 20% of white respondents thought the police were not being aggressive enough while only 6% of African Americans agreed, according to the poll.

The Latin Kings were a formidable force back then. They did a lot of “disposal work” for the CPD. My Family lived in the NW Suburb Arlington Heights (’63-’67), while I went to HS, and then off to Drake University (’67-’71), in IA.
i grew up on the west side of Detroit....Detroit Police had a tactical squad called the “BIG FOUR”...4 plainclothes cops in a black, unmarked car. these guys..man, you didnt want any part of that...if they stopped you, you told em everything you ever did wrong..lol. Coleman Young, the city’s first black mayor, abolished the unit in the early 80’s.
bump to the top
I can just imagine that car and those guys. Probably damned effective, too.
OUR guys must start doing these kind of polls...
Dems use them because too many people want to 'fit in' and polls are they way they tell their base that 'this is the way to think'...
Your poll question should start the process. Yes, we can do this - we don't have to be Paul Ryan boy scouts ... we need to fight back.
Exactly the fact of this poll shows majority of adults not even registered voters to be a majority of a favor the police let you know that the left’s anti cop anti-White violence the last couple of weeks is only not working most people are quietly seething about these riots and attack on cops.and FU Lego..who do you think buys your stuff? Not exactly popular in the hood.
Considering who’s conducting the poll and considering it’s in the midst of a full on riot and propaganda from the media? I think it’s pretty ballsy that anyone even answered that way.
If Republicans want to compete they need to hire lots of private pollsters the ASK THE QUESTIONS AMERICANS CARE ABOUT...
