Anti cop Democrats out of touch with majority of Americans

 Epoch Times:

A Rasmussen Reports survey released Wednesday found that the majority of Americans are worried that anti-police rhetoric, which is often pushed by progressive Democrats, will result in a shortage of law enforcement officers and endanger public safety.

The April 13-14 survey, distributed to 1,000 likely U.S. voters, asked respondents, “How concerned are you that the growing criticism of America’s police will lead to a shortage of police officers and reduce public safety in the community where you live?”

Sixty-three percent said they are either “very” or “somewhat” concerned about anti-police rhetoric.

Eighty-four percent of Republicans, 52 percent of Democrats, and 59 percent of independents expressed different levels of concern over the rhetoric. Additionally, 52 percent of black voters said they are concerned, and 61 percent of non-white voters are equally troubled.

“No fair-minded person believes that cops, many of whom are racial minorities, get up every day and go to work hoping for the opportunity to be able to hurt someone, including but not limited to people of color,” said Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) during an interview with Fox News on Thursday. “That’s nonsense. But the ‘woke-a-reestas’ like the congresswoman, they really believe that. They really do hate cops, just because they’re cops. They really do want to defund the police,” he continued.

“The ‘woke-a-reestas’ really do believe that when a cop shoots a criminal, it is always—every single time—the cop’s fault, but when a criminal shoots a cop, it is always—every single time—the gun’s fault. These folks really do have contempt for America, they should have gratitude,” said Kennedy.

I do not think a lot of Democrats have learned their lesson about the high political cost of the defund the cop movement that nearly cost them their House majority.  For example, several members of "the Squad" the leftist female members of the party are still virulently anti-cop one even suggesting doing away with the police altogether.  I think their anti-cop rhetoric will be an issue in the 2022 election.

It looks like BLM cannot get a majority of blacks to support their anti-police agenda.
