WASHINGTON, D.C. – A new poll shows that whites trust cops more than non-whites.
According to a Gallup poll, white Americans (60%) surveyed last month expressed more trust in police than nonwhites did (49%), although the 11-percentage-point gap is slightly smaller than the average 14-point gap seen since 1985.
Gallup conducted the poll in the run-up to the grand jury decision that looms in Ferguson, Missouri, where a cop shot a black kid that was said to be un-armed.
One Mason City white man said of the poll: “Not sure who Gallup talked to, or where they found these white people that trust cops. All I know is, in Mason City, the cops only protect the “elites” and it generally don’t matter what color they are. The elites can assault the rest of us and let them off scott-free. Hard to trust that. By the way, I know of several “elite” fat middle-aged white guys who drive home drunk multiple times a week from the County Club, but you never see any drunk driving arrests out there. That should tell you something. One guy runs a local bank.”
I still think Matt and Robin would make a cute couple. 🙂
And just why do more whites trust cops compared to non whites. There has to be a reason, maybe it’s attitude, maybe it’s the, you owe me mentality, work ethic, or moral beliefs. It has to be something, what is it.
The country has turned left in the most recent years. Americans have either given, or had stolen, many rights.
Anyone with a badge and a gun, can basically do what they wish, without being questioned. If they are questioned, it is by their piers, and they will be found justified for any actions.
They are out there to raise money for themselves and the mother state! Period
There is definitely favortism in Mason City. It didn’t used to be that way but certainly is now. It just pisses me off when someone is responsible enough to walk home from a bar because they know they have drank to much, only to have them arrested for public intoxication. What gives the police the right to stop those people who are just walking and check them out?
