Sep 2 – The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 58% of Likely U.S. Voters think there is a war on police in America today. Just 27% disagree, while 15% are undecided. 54% of black voters agree, there is a war on police.
Sixty percent (60%) believe comments critical of the police by some politicians make it more dangerous for police officers to do their jobs. Only 18% think those comments improve the quality of the police’s performance. Thirteen percent (13%) say the politicians’ comments have no impact.
From Louder with Crowder: “The media is too invested in their false “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative to admit that A) it was a lie and B) their biased reporting might be a part of the problem. Also C) they’re too worried about things that don’t matter, like Caitlyn Jenner’s show and/or penis. Even if the media did admit their role in spreading a false perception, most leftists dismiss concern for the police as a white person thing, anyway.”
You do realize that polls are useless. That is a telephone poll. They call landlines. Mostly retired Seniors . Not representative.
That said there is a war on Police militarization and police abuse.
Police Reform is a election issue. Propaganda on all sides will be massive.
But the subject of this post, Dewey, is not ” a war on Police militarization and police abuse” or “polls.”
It is about perceptions that a war on police officers has been declared. We have much more than polling data to illustrate this evil insanity, both in words and deeds. So if “seniors” have been polled, it’s likely they know what they’re talking about.
And by the way, seniors also have cell phones.
Seniors have “lived longer” and they “have more experience” (Kathy Bates as Evelyn Couch, Fried Green Tomatoes).
But perception is secondary to the actual murders, not to mention false accusations and harassment aimed at individual officers for political reasons.
Jack this is good news. It seems to follow what I sense is the mood of the nation overall. People are just fed up. The 42% that are undecided or disagree are probably mostly young and uninformed 🙂
Well, you’re right that perception is different from reality. In reality, assaults on police are at a historic low:

The “war on police narrative” is no more honest than “hands up, don’t shoot.” Both are lies meant to serve a political narrative.
An assault is not necessarily a murder/assassination.
FBI:
These stats are “preliminary so they could be adjusted later. But 89% is a significant INCREASE, especially when you consider that in 2013 murders of officers were down.
We won’t have the stats for 2015, the year of “Black Lives Matter,” for some time. What we do know is that cops have been targeted and murdered of late and their deaths coincide with incited protests and violence in the black community.
That the inciters are, among others, our nations leaders is indefensible. It does reflect the mindset of a 60’s radical, a community organizer, or mafia thug…all Saul Alinsky aligned or inspired.
So, given the statistical and dubious early claims that the murder of officers is supposedly at a low means that there is no war on cops?
Idiot.
