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.
Don’t buy this poll. It is probably around 20%. Crazy enough that might include some libertarians in that mix.
