Poll: Trust in Black Lives Matter Drops, Trust in Local Law Enforcement Rises

...60 percent of Americans last June described George Floyd’s death as murder—that figure has since plummeted to 36 percent. Corresponding to that is a fourfold increase in the number of people who say they don’t know how to describe the video of Chauvin kneeling on Floyd. Roughly the same number of people as last year think that Chauvin was negligent, while there’s been a notable uptick in the number of people who think he did nothing wrong....

Both a majority of whites and blacks agree that Chauvin ought to be convicted on some charge, though only a narrow majority of whites (54 percent). The majority of blacks who want Chauvin convicted is much greater (76 percent).

When asked last June how much they trusted the Black Lives Matter movement and local law enforcement to “promote justice and equal treatment for people of all races,” 60 percent of respondents said they trusted BLM and 56 percent said local police. But these attitudes have greatly shifted. Now only 50 percent of respondents say they trust BLM and 69 percent the local police.

It is important to note that both blacks and whites trust BLM less and local police more. Trust in BLM dropped 12 percentage points among blacks and 8 points among whites, though it’s always been the case that fewer whites trust BLM than blacks. Trust in local police, however, rose 14 points among blacks and 12 points among whites....

I think the trial begins this week.

I don't think many people realize yet what the coroner's report says.

Many people won’t/don’t care what the coroners report says. That $blm has any trust pretty much tells us what we need to know. Only one name really means anything to the “leaders” of the extortion gang. Benjamin.

The left has successfully corrupted elected and appointed officials but getting to juries remains a problem. Expect maximum efforts to bully and intimidate the jury in the Chauvin trial.

It takes a while before the truth gets out there. The video looked horrible and people responded as such, with an assist from the race pimping media. It’s the same BLM playbook-get your media allies to spread the lie, garner big bucks over the “crisis”, get ridiculous policies enacted. By the time the public learns the truth it no longer matters as the money’s in the bank.

Lincoln said you can fool some of the people some of the time, and all of the people some of the time but you cannot fool all the people all of the time. Perhaps that is finally happening with the group of grifters, extortionists, and race pimps.

Thought that was PT Barnum. But, Mark Twain did say: “No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot(s).” That will be once again proven during the upcoming trials.

BLM has served it purpose for the moment. It will be resurrected the next time a conservative bogey-man appears on the horizon

I trust BLM ...to keep all of the money they extorted. It was just as good as Al Gore’s global warming scam.
