USA Today Poll: 90 Percent of Detroit Residents Want More Police
https://www.newsmax.com/us/defundthepolice-safety-shootings-criminals/2021/07/25/id/1029877/Detroit residents resoundingly reject the defund the police movement, with around 90% saying they would feel safe with more police, not less, according to a new poll.
They are far more worried about public safety than police reform, and three out of four respondents reject the "defund the police" slogan by leftists, the USA Today/Suffolk University/Detroit Free Press Poll found.
"It's scary sitting in the house, and when you go outside to the gas station or the store, it's possible someone will be shooting right next to you," lifelong Detroit resident Charlita Bell, 41, who was among those polled, told USA Today.
Bell has reason for the fear. Her car was hit by stray bullets during a shopping trip. She didn't even wait around for police to show, she just hurried to the safety of her home, she told the paper, fearing the shooter would return.
90% of Detroiters want more police.
