Cori Bush's call to defund police rejected 2-1
Washington Examiner ^ | 10 Aug 2021 | Paul Bedard

America, it turns out, loves the police and, as a result, rejects liberal calls in Washington to defund law enforcement.

By a lopsided 2-1 margin, likely voters in a new Rasmussen Reports survey disagreed with anti-police sentiments aired by “Squad” member Rep. Cori Bush, who said last week that “defunding the police has to happen. We need to defund the police and put that money into social safety nets.”

Some 63% disagreed and 31% agreed with the defunding call, said Rasmussen.

And by a 57%-33% margin, voters also agree that “new Democrats in Washington attack and degrade all law enforcement officers.”

The survey also revealed the depth of support that law enforcement officers have. It found that 71% rated their police departments as good to excellent.

And on the key question of police being racist, 68% “don’t think most police officers are racist,” according to survey results previewed by Secrets.

Every one of them has enough mindless hostility to choke the whole stable

So if Cori Bush gets her way, does that mean the federales will stop subsidizing local PD's and the all of the locals would have to completely fund their own PD out of their own pocket? Maybe she is on to something after all.

While you're at it, Cori, defund the FBI and the Capitol Police.

Let her give up her security detail first as an example.

It’s insane that 31% want to refund the police. Probably a majority of twenty-somethings. Schools are corrupting the younger generation.

“By a lopsided 2-1 margin, likely voters...”

What does that matter? They don’t care about what voters want.

I heard an interview with Presley this morning. She wants to lower the voting age to 16. So.... defund the police, lower the voting age to sixteen.... what could go wrong?!

She must not know any 16 year olds. Lowering it to 18 was utterly insane to begin with.

Exactly.

How loud will she scream “police!” if a group of angry poor whites were to “occupy” her office?
