Sacramento CA

Description

According to a Rasmussen/National Police Association Poll released on Wednesday, July 21st, more voters want Congress to investigate the violent, summer 2020 Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots rather than the January 6th Capitol riot. “66 percent of likely U.S. voters think Congress should investigate last year’s violent protests, in which more than 2,000 police officers suffered injuries in the line of duty. 21 percent don’t think Congress should investigate last year’s protests and 13 percent were not sure.” No committee has been established to investigate at least 574 BLM protests that involved acts of violence, including assaults on police officers, looting, and arson. According to the poll, majorities of every racial group and political affiliation support a congressional investigation of last year’s violent protests. The poll reported: “67 percent of whites, 64 percent of black voters, 66 percent of Hispanics, and 62 percent of other minorities support a congressional investigation. 75 percent of Republicans, 60 percent of Democrats, and 63 percent of voters not affiliated with either majority party agree.”
