Blue Lives Matter, Americans Agree

The Gallup polling organization reports respect for police is very nearly the most positive they've ever seen, and the highest since 1967. More good news, while conservatives, non-city dwellers and whites have somewhat more positive attitudes, a real majority of every group young and old, white and not, rural and urban, Democrats and Republicans respects our police.

This is wonderful news for a group that has, as a consequence of the Black Lives Matter movement, felt beleaguered and under threat. I wonder if the pro-police sentiment Gallup found will translate into an anti-Clinton vote?

Trump has been much more vocal in his support for police and his rejection of police racism accusations. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
