For years now, Black Lives Matter supporters have been rioting, looting, blocking highways, and causing all kinds of trouble.
It all started with the “hands up, don’t shoot” lie in Ferguson, Missouri, where Michael Brown was shot and killed after physically attacking a police officer. Since then, from Baltimore to Oakland to Charlotte, riots and looting have plagued the streets.
It got really bad when a Black Lives Matter supporter murdered 5 police officers and injured another 9 in Dallas, Texas.
Black Lives Matter has accused our police officers of being racist bigots – but they just got the worst news ever. They have FAILED!
Since the riots and looting began, respect for police has skyrocketed. According to the latest poll, Americans respect their police more than ever:
Americans’ respect for police has climbed to a near-record high, according to a new Gallup poll.
The findings, released Monday, show that 76% of adults said they have “a great deal” of respect for their local police — a 12-point jump since last year and just one point shy of the all-time Gallup high in 1967.
And it’s not just white Americans either:
Gallup found racial split in attitudes toward police, with 80% of whites saying they have “a great deal” of respect for local law enforcement, compared with 67% of non-whites.
Rioting and burning down neighborhoods have failed to make Americans more skeptical of police. In fact, it should have been obvious that just the opposite would happen. Regular, hardworking Americans of all colors want to be safe, not have their neighborhoods burnt down or their lives put in danger.
This is terrible news for Black Lives Matter. Maybe now they will focus on improving relations with the police in their community, instead of harming innocent neighbors.
All it takes to stay safe is showing a little respect:
