In a sign that public animus is beginning to grow against anti-police protests, a new poll revealed that 66 percent of Americans are opposed to defunding or abolishing the police.
The “defund the police” cry has been commonplace at Black Lives Matter protests that were sparked in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis in May. Several city councils in various cities have proposed measures to either divert funding away from police departments or dismantle the law enforcement agencies entirely.
