More White Than Black People Want Police Abolished In Minneapolis, New Poll Finds

The narrative that black people are driving the ‘abolish the police’ calls, specifically in Minneapolis, has been again disproven as a survey found that way more white people support the move than black people do.

KARE 11 reports that a poll found that 51 percent of white voters support replacing the Minneapolis Police Department with a new Department of Public Safety, while only 42 percent of black voters support the measure.

In addition, 75 percent of black voters believe the police force should not be reduced in size, compared to 51 percent of white voters.

The news agency also reported that “More white voters support reducing the size of the force than Black voters, but there wasn’t a majority among either demographic, 33% compared to 14%.”
