Survey: Epoch Readers Support Federal Policing of Washington, See Limits Elsewhere

The latest survey of readers of The Epoch Times revealed a strong desire for law and order with some concerns about the limits of federal and executive power.

President Donald Trump federalized control of the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) on Aug. 11, ordering 800 National Guard troops to the nation’s capital.

Supporters say these measures restore public safety and order, while critics warn of risks to local self-governance and civil liberties.
