My experience with that demographic is that they're pretty ready to tell you about it.

I guess but wouldn't that leave some group of centrists who "somewhat" support martial law while also thinking the police station arson was at least "partially" justified? That doesn't seem reasonable at all unless the polls are just inaccurate. In any case the results are somewhat surprising.

NYC cops arresting an essential delivery driver who is exempt from curfew laws.

The reasons for their not fully supporting martial law are probably the reasons why they think that burning down a police station is partially justified. What's most likely is that these are different polls surveying different people with small enough sample sizes to have seemingly conflicting results. The dissonance that you're pointing out would be more compelling if it was within a single poll using the same subjects.

It's called dumb moderates who don't know what they believe but they know they don't like bad things.

Obviously I agree it would be easier to judge of it was the same group of people, but if the polls can't be assumed to roughly reflect the general population then isn't that the same as just saying they're inaccurate/poorly done?

I honestly can't speak on the methodology or what the average sample size is for a good poll on this sort of thing. The two in question had 807 and 1,624 participants.

dumb moderates who want to burn down police stations AND bring out the troops? We sure got some interesting moderates.

Nah.

Isn't the entire purpose supposed to be gauging the general sentiment? Maybe if they were targeted towards specific different groups I could see your point but I think both are meant to be representative of Americans in general.

What about the police station probably deserved to get torched because it was where that cop worked but the troops were needed because unrelated stores were being looted?

Yes.

They are. And they do with a reliable plus minus

At least that’s what my social studies teacher said

fair point but it still seems like both supporting burning the police station and supporting a military crackdown are not really "moderate" sounding approaches to me. Whether you agree with them or not they both sound more extreme than the alternative.

I think it may suggest radicalism

I agree.

Watching that video of that old man being shoved down like that made me ****ing mad. He deserves more than a suspension, you don't just do **** like that.

In other news, this **** happened to my former coworker and her daughter.

That entire sounder of swine should be slaughtered.

I used to think some cops were alright, especially the ones I had to deal with in my teenage years, but it's gotten to a point where I just can't believe some of the "good ones" let this **** slide. Yeah, I was a dumb white kid doing dumb ****, and I get that I would have been locked up if I was anything other than white.

A lot of cops are good people

That doesn’t mean they should be allowed to live

A lot of landlords are nice. Same thing.

Poor guy.

If only this country protected smaller businesses like they do large corporations instead of virtue signalling for them when it's convenient.

If only any form of capitalism what-so-ever was punishable by death.

Disgusting sociopaths. All of them.

Nobody would ever get "punished by death" in a decent post-capitalist system though.

All this news about the police violence and the treatment of protests happening in the US just fills me with impotent rage. I wish I could do something

yeah the deaths have to happen before hand

capitalism ain’t going easy

Encourage the EU to send UN troops and or just nuke this ****ing **** hole

Remember it’s not just ourselves we’re killing

We’re killing you too

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

THAT GUY WAS 75?! AND THEN THEY JUST WALKED AWAY LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED?!

Exo, what are the rules on calling for certain actions against the police cause I'm fin to get banned.

Too bad it'll take another few million years for the sun to engulf the earth. We need that now.

He has cancer too.

We all do.

Fire nukes into the sun.

Won't that just make more sun?
