My apologies on the linking bit. Definitely did not see it and kinda blows my mind I missed it. Glad you didn’t have to edit it for another reason because I would’ve called shenanigans in my head :P.

I honestly feel like the “abolish police” thing was taken up by either bad actors or unfortunate miscommunications (probably both). Back during the peak of the police brutality riots, I read and watched a vast array of interviews and/or op-eds of which no one was saying vanquish all law-enforcement. There were some “hot spots” of police corruption running rampant in some known departments, basically needing a clean house strategy to start fresh, but all the caveats of the movements had a stance of reform, deescalation, and an emphasis on social services being used in lieu of armed response for non-violent calls.

I typed this out the other day but forgot to get back to it and finish to submit this comment. I wanted to include my interpretation of the other survey images and link the other articles/survey data with it including how gallop ran the poll. If you’re still interested in the discourse let me know and I’ll reply my thoughts.
