The Hill reports the findings of a Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll looking at public attitudes for and against the police. I doubt you'll be surprised at what was learned.
Seventy-five percent of respondents said more police are needed on the street while only 25 percent say they do not need more cops on the beat.
Seventy-two percent of voters also said they oppose “defunding the police,” and a slim 52 percent majority said they support the controversial practice of stop and frisk in urban areas to “deter gun crime.” Fifty-six percent also say they oppose eliminating cash bail.
The above is the case because most of us have nothing to fear from the police, they help defend us against predators.
