Black Americans Want Police to Retain Local Presence

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- When asked whether they want the police to spend more time, the same amount of time or less time than they currently do in their area, most Black Americans -- 61% -- want the police presence to remain the same. This is similar to the 67% of all U.S. adults preferring the status quo, including 71% of White Americans.
Meanwhile, nearly equal proportions of Black Americans say they would like the police to spend more time in their area (20%) as say they'd like them to spend less time there (19%).
These findings are from a June 23-July 6 Gallup Panel survey, administered by web in English and conducted as part of the newly launched Gallup Center on Black Voices. The study includes large samples of Black, Hispanic and Asian Americans, weighted to their correct proportions of the population.
Of these four racial/ethnic groups, Asian Americans are the most likely to want less police presence where they live, with 28% saying this. That contrasts with 12% of White Americans, 17% of Hispanic Americans and 19% of Black Americans.

"Defund Police" is a massive mistake.

I don’t blame em. The police have turned society into a bank account instead of simply serving and protecting.

idk hard to see what could possibly go wrong
oh wait I get it you probably aren’t aware they plan on replacing the cops with social workers

“Defunding Police” would hurt African Americans more than anyone else. Most wish their neighborhoods were safer.

And most people aren't the idiots calling for defunding the police thankfully.

That’s 81% of Black Americans that want the same or more police presence.
Why is the media, corporations, and the Democrat politicians siding with the 19% over the 81%?

You can't stir up much shite when you side with the majority.
And the media don't get paid if there ain't much shite swirling.

White progs are behind most of the bullshite going on, not black folks.

I disagree, the left should keep it up until Nov 3. the result will help a landslide right wing victory

The media gets better ratings when the 81% is mad.
Idk why corporations do it. Especially when republicans at “only here to serve the rich and corporations.”
There’s some frick shite going on, and I don’t like it.

So they dont? All those tickets protect us somehow? Civil asset forfeiture does? Opposition to marijuana legalization does? Keeping the beds filled at private prisons?

I’m extremely against the way our police go about business and their goals and pretty much the way the approach every aspect of their jobs.
But your assessment of the OP was dumb af.

BREAKING NEWS: A large percentage of black people aren't members of gangs, go to work to work five days a week, and pay taxes.

Most Americans, regardless of race, want police around. This shouldn't be a surprise. Even the folks I know who have attended protests would agree with that.
