According to a new poll, only 16% of Americans support defunding the police department while an astonishing 65% of Americans completely oppose defunding the police force.

The poll comes after Democrats have recently pushed to defund police departments across the country after George Floyd, a black man, was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis

I'm glad to see so many view the idea of defunding the police to be stupid. Frankly, I am surprised the poll found only 16% support the idea given how many stupid people I've seen walking around lately.

“an astonishing 65% of Americans completely oppose defunding the police force.”

Anything under 98% should be astonishing, but these are not normal times.

We should be defunding any and all university subsidies and taking away their non-profit designations, not defunding the police.

I went over to the Black Looters Matter web site. Sure enough it has a petition asking to defund the police. They already have the State stealing from the productive to get them free stuff. Guess they just want a little excitement with their looting.

I’m not sure there are enough sane people left in the U.S. to defeat this idiocy. It’s aimed at voters in the Big Blue cities and “educated” upper class liberals, especially women. If sanity does prevail, Trump’s re-election is assured.

Adding up these two percentages comes up to 81%. So 19% have no opinion or have to think it through as to whether defunding police is a good idea

I wonder if a big amount of that 19% undecided I think it’s absurd to think about defunding police, but in this politically correct world are afraid to give the politically incorrect opinion that we should defund the police.

Yeah I noticed that too. The a-hole who wrote this thought 65% being completely opposing withdrawing was an astonishing high number when I find it a depressingly low number.

Just wait a couple of years and they’ll be living like they’re there.
