:Would you support or oppose cities calling in the US military to supplement city police forces to address protests & demonstrations in dozens of cities in response to death of George Floyd?

% Support/Oppose
Total 58/30
Dem 48/43
GOP 77/15


Almost 2 to 1 margin.

even Dems support it.

I've for it because the Police have either been inept or exacerbating the problem.

The people looting and destroying are not a majority or anywhere close. They can seem that way because it’s how news channels want to portray them.

Until Trump does it. Watch their support reverse to 15/85 if he does what they say they want.

You mean to tell me people don't like seeing their neighborhoods being destroyed, then left in shambles because the people who are doing it don't give a frick about those neighborhoods and just want free shite/anarchy?

That's not what CNN told me.

Nice try. We can see the streams. It’s not the “small percentage” yall are touting. Maybe in some places but the places where shite is popping off? Whole lot of em

I am in support of it were there is looting. Peaceful protest, I hope the military give those folks full support to let them protest. It is our God given right to do so.

Most of the news channels I’ve seen are still calling the rioters “protestors”

Most of the actual footage has been from streams.

So cities are burning or not? Looting is happening or not?

What's sad is the black population doesn't give a crap about their lives when it is black on black murder.

Do you want things to get worse or better? Because the US military gunning down American citizens would make things worse.

I get it, but I'd never want to put our service men and women in position of having to fire on American Citizens.

That tweet is not on the @MorningConsult twitter that I can find and this is the second time I've seen it posted as a quote with no link.
