How many people think this is the correct ear for Joe Biden to hang his mask on, and how many people think he should switch it over to his other ear?
ABC/Ipsos have been some of the most slanted of all polls, and that’s saying a lot.
LOL!
Biden already said he is against it.
Now ABC runs with this? And dont think trying to dress it up as something other than what the phrase says is going work either.
I guess that makes 64% of American racist.
If my local city decides to defund they should get no federal dollars that is intended for local law enforcement.
I wonder how much federal money flows to local police departments.
Of course, they do. I’m betting that the approval rate among dems is even higher, they just don’t want to admit to it because they know sane people think it is a really really bad idea.
If people were into disciplining themselves, we wouldn’t need as many police as we have. Failure to self regulate results in a loss of freedom for all.
I like the split: Democrats on one side, Americans on the other!
They really couldn’t have picked a worse way to brand this. Some of the underlying ideas (like having other people besides law enforcement deal with people having a mental health crisis or with the homeless or other situations where a specialist with more specific training can step in) aren’t bad, depending on the details of what actually gets implemented. Every LEO I know doesn’t want to have to deal with those situations anyway. Particularly in the case of people having mental health issues, there’s usually minimal training in how to handle that anyway. They’d happily hand that workload off to other people specially trained for it.
If the people pushing for this stuff had worked with LEO organizations like the FOP, they might have actually had a set of proposals with broad support, including from the law enforcement community. Instead it’s typical “us vs them” tribalism, and since most people understand the concept of the thin blue line, they’re going to side with police. Short-sighted foolishness and a wasted opportunity for change that could have benefited everyone.
According to an ABC News/Ipsos poll, 92% of Americans do not want another Hiroshima. Only 83% said they do not want another Nagasaki. When asked what day of the week it was, 6% replied “purple”, and a tourist from the UK said “I have eels in my hovercraft”.
You can bet the real poll is a disaster.
Geez Louise, batman, who ever thought we’d reach a point in America that 1/3rd want to get rid of the police.
But I can see why Biden and gang are running away - fast- from the defunding idea.
So 36% of Americans support abolishing the police? It’s either a lie or we’ve become a nation of idiots. Or, one possible explanation for these numbers is that many people have never had any direct contact with the police, so they think that police are irrelevant to their lives and can be safely eliminated. These would be people - mostly white - living in affluent, crime-free areas.
The solution, of course, is to elect a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in your county. This sheriff has the legal and armed muscle to protect your family and your community.
So if the nutty liberal mayor of a city sends his BLM goons out to harass citizens, the racists will be met by the sheriff’s heavily armed SWAT team. And his 1,000 man auxiliary deputies who are on standby duty for “emergencies.”
People familiar with our founding know that the above strategy is part of the Founder’s Committees of Safety.
What this shows is the mentality of the democrats. Who are they going to call with a problem, a liberal?
Americans vs Democrats.
This move to eliminate the police is going to see a proportionate rise in defensive firearm ownership. Might be a good time to put a few $ in those stock holdings.
Breaking news. May not have it exactly right but Minneapolis City Council voted to defund or disband the police. They proposed some alternative but I didn’t catch it. iHeart radio was the source.
Better be able to shoot.
I imagine, among the 35% that said they support defunding, a goodly number thought they meant “defending”, another bunch thought that all it meant was “take away their armored personnel carriers”, and another bunch just wanted to say “they’re probably all Trump supporters, so to hell with them”.
I imagine maybe 5% of Americans have really thought it through and decided “yes, I want to get of the police.” Most of those are elite members of the Democrat party. The rest are convicted or aspiring felons.
