| Subject: Great: Amid Kentucky unrest, AP poll shows public support for racial justice protests falling Thu Sep 24, 2020 11:59 pm | |
| As social justice protests ramp up again in Louisville, Ky., New York and elsewhere following the grand jury indictment in the Breonna Taylor case, a poll released this week from The Associated Press and the NORC Center shows public support for the activities declining since the summer.
Nearly one half of Americans disapprove of the demonstrations that occur in response to police-involved shootings, and more recently the judicial decisions in those cases.
Conducted before the jury in Louisville declined to file murder charges against three officers -- instead charging one with multiple counts of wanton endangerment -- the poll showed 44 percent of those surveyed disapproved.
That figure is down from the 54 percent of Americans who approved in June -- shortly after the death of George Floyd first sparked the urban unrest. Floyd's death had also sparked a renewed focus on the shooting that killed Taylor months earlier in March.
