As the decision in Kentucky to bring charges against only one of three police officers involved in a raid that killed Breonna Taylor sparks renewed protests nationwide, a new survey finds support has fallen for demonstrations against systemic racism.
The poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that 44% of Americans disapprove of protests in response to police violence against Black Americans, while 39% approve. In June, 54% approved. The new survey was conducted Sept. 11-14, before Wednesday's announcement that a lone Louisville police officer would be charged in the Taylor case, but not for her actual death.
Overnight, demonstrators in cities from New York to Las Vegas marched through streets and chanted Taylor’s name. Two officers were wounded by gunfire at protests in Louisville, where authorities made close to 100 arrests on charges of damaging businesses, refusing to disperse after curfew and unlawful assembly.
The poll finds the percentage of Americans who believe police violence unequally targets Black Americans and that greater consequences for police brutality are necessary have also fallen from June, when an AP-NORC survey found sweeping changes in how Americans view these issues.
The June survey followed the late May killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, which renewed focus on Taylor's earlier death, in March. On Wednesday, a Kentucky grand jury declined to charge any officers for their role in Taylor's killing; she was shot multiple times after officers entered her home using a no-knock warrant during a narcotics investigation.

I wonder why?.........................
“... demonstrations against systemic racism.”
This is textbook gaslighting.
There is no systemic racism.
Watch what Disney and Hollywood tries to teach the kids this is what they do. False premise. Once it gets into the collective consciousness arc
Vying against it is impossible. One is labeled a kook.
Regarding Louisville riots, is it true that they found a body in Taylor’s car?
Maybe because there isn't hardly any . . . or at least the kind that the enemedia has been promoting.
Ya think?
Alexandria O Cortez, “Use this to radicalize you.”
Demonic possession is not peaceful protests.
I guess they’ll have to manufacture some................................
Thank you! Yep, a body in the car. And she was in deep with criminals. Darn. I quoted ABC in Twitter and feel like a dang fool.
Ya think? I bet these protests have INCREASE racism and prejudice. Just a guess.
Its cracked the 43% Clinton Firewall.
I suspect the number opposed to BLM-Antifa is much higher but no one wants to have their home burned by saying it.
After all that mayhem caused by the protests, small wonder why....
AOC is oh so holey. Eh, holy I mean.
Because increasing numbers of people are getting wise to the fact they are not racial injustice protests.
Unfortunately all too many still aren't aware of what is actually going on.
Aaron Morrison is BLM’s leading cheerleader at AP, so I’m sure he’s deeply saddened to report this.
I know it’s true it was NOT a no knock warrant, the cops did knock but the libs keep saying it was a no knock warrant.
