Amajority of Black Americans have said they want police presence in their area to either remain the same or increase, despite recent protests over police brutality, according to new polls.

A Gallup poll conducted from June 23 to July 6 surveying more than 36,000 U.S. adults found that 61 percent of Black Americans said they'd like police to spend the same amount of time in their community, while 20 percent answered they'd like to see more police, totaling 81 percent. Just 19 percent of those polled said they wanted police to spend less time in their area.

Black Americans' responses to the question were nearly on par with the national average, in which 67 percent of all U.S. adults said they wanted police presence to remain the same and 19 percent said they wanted it to increase.

Yeah, we didn't need a poll to know that. Antifa and BLM are mostly white organizations, and young white leftists are the ones screaming about defunding the police.

Statistic show irrefutable proof that minorities are victims of crime...violent and otherwise...far beyond their representation in the population. No wonder why rational blacks,Hispanics or Asians don't want to “re-imagine” policing.

“start voting like you mean it.”

Amen. If they want law and order, vote for the party and people that support law and order. What is wrong with those voters?

The Tyranny of the Minority. And it’s not just the loudest. The few are amplified by the media while the many are suppressed.

The goal is marxism in the USA, and abolishment of capitalism.

Marxism requires a revolution, always a violent one.

Violent revolutions don’t happen when cops are plentiful, and free to do their jobs.

So to get marxism, you have to decrease the cops, and tie their hands.

THAT’S what this is all about. They don’t care about polls.

The nerve of the ungrateful people who took this poll! America’s rich white liberals have demonstrated time and again over the last 50 years that they know what’s best for their oppressed charges!

Seems every black commentator on MSNBC - (who all have their mansions in ‘white world’) - wants to limit or de-fund the police...

Same with black NFL multimillionaires - who all live in white neighborhoods... with security guards.

NONE of the radical ‘defund the police’ blacks live in the black community.

Last June when my town had a 100-125 person BLM protest. They stared on the town green and marched to the Police station.

It was easily 95% or more woke white leftists from the middle/upper middle mostly white sections of town involved in screaming the standard BLM phrases at police the entire time.

The march was not planned and the idiots marched 3ish miles to the station on a 90 degree day and never thought about water or getting back to their cars. A few who had spent a goof 30 minutes screaming at the police, actually asked for rides to their cars from the police. The Chief just had all his offices go back inside and ignored them.

The could have marched the other direction from the green about the same distance to get to a lower income higher crime area, but chose not to. Weird.

Yet virtually all of those 81% vote for democrats who take police away.

The definition of insanity is...

Look; DemonicRats think Blacks are too stupid to get a voter ID. How can they possibly know what is good for them; without us telling them. They vote for us; so we can impose a better life on them.
