It appears that, according to a new USA Today/Ipsos poll, Americans’ support for the radical Black Lives Matter movement has fallen precipitously since the violent riots of last summer, while their support for police has gone up significantly.
The poll also found that the number of Americans who believe that the death of George Floyd, apparently at the hands of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, was murder has also gone down dramatically.
As USA Today reports:
Americans’ trust in the Black Lives Matter movement has fallen and their faith in local law enforcement has risen since protests demanding social justice swept the nation last year, according to an exclusive USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll…
Last June, 60% in a USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll described Floyd’s death as murder; that percentage has now dropped by double digits to 36%. Uncertainty has grown about how to characterize the incident, caught on video, when Chauvin held his knee on Floyd’s neck and ignored his protests that he couldn’t breathe. Last year, 4% said they didn’t know how to describe it; that number has climbed to 17%…
Last June, amid accusations of systemic racism in law enforcement, 60% of Americans expressed trust in the Black Lives Matter movement to promote justice and equal treatment of people, compared with 56% who trusted local police to do that.
Now, however, attitudes have shifted significantly. Trust in Black Lives Matter has fallen to 50%; trust in local police and law enforcement has risen to 69%.
How brainwashed the people have become to give recognition to this radical Marxist founded organization.
The actions of this “MOB” of discontents only proves that the destructive political undercurrent weasels in this nation are intent upon creating anarchy through their progressive, communist, Antifa, organizations and wiping out our protective laws established in our constitution and especially The Bill of Rights. Damn them all!
You might add that this method is tried and true, and those who historically adopted such tactics lived to regret their actions. Socialism, Communism, or any variations of those ideologies are to tyrants as candy is to a child predator. The concepts induce gullible, ignorant, vulnerable populations to cede their liberty, civil rights, economy, cultural processes and sovereignty to a perceived form of beneficent government.
Governments are not beneficent.
They will all wish that the fact they are a group of paid hit men doing the lefts persuasive tactics to undermine the American ppl and use the ppl to get what the left wants and leave them out in the cold. The damage that was brought on was destructive against everything good in America and showed ppl can be swayed to be eradicated behavior against false pretenses or full precocious activities and myriad people got hurt in the process. No real way too fix what has been done but to abolish the act of never letters it happen again. Plain and simple
Damn them all 1000 times!
The people will not be fooled for long. I can only hope the sham of an administration in the White House can be put under control before they ruin this great country of OURS! Wake up. You’ve been scammed.
The dems have spoon fed us lies, and shamed and intimidated us into fear, and are USING us to destroy our country FOR THEM so they can establish their globalist communist atheist dictatorship UN new world order utopia. Where WE THE PEOPLE are their chattel worker ants who will keep them in LUXURY and their absolute power and absolute control over us and our paychecks that are direct deposit into THEIR IRS. Wake up, their voters have been made a fool of, because when they get their ducks in a row, which they are doing right now by all the laws that they are legislating AGAINST us and our Constitution and our Bill Of Rights, and when they get them all signed and sealed, the $#%& will hit the fan on us.
Well, as an American patriot, will you STAND AGAINST THEI SHIT when it comes or will you be WAY TOO BUSY BENDING OVER AND OBEYING THEIR UNCONSTITUTIONAL 🐂💩?
I have never, will not now or ever bend over for the likes of this demonrat, left wing, self serving, socialist/communist, egotistical/ control freak bunch of Biden the puppet string pullers who use gender and skin color as qualifications for the highest Political seats in our Country. Education and experience mean nothing to these left wing scum bags!
God bless America, The Republican Party and President Trump.
Now we know why they put up the fences around the Capitol. They knew how mad the people would be over the crap they are pulling. The rest of us can just deal with the illegals bringing Covid, but Congress will be safe from it. They just want you to think they are worried about Trump supporters.
Truth
We would hope, but they are on the fast track to turn us into a fascist state. Just look at HR1! The democrat voters were scammed, and the rest of us are screwed – paying for this liberal agenda and bailout to their democrat voters!
How do you control a party who already has absolute control and who cares not a whit about the constitution or the constitutionality of anything? “Teachers” unions, academis, and the media are all on their side (and yes there ARE sides in this). The are now flooding the nation with hundreds of thousand of illegals who feel no allegiance to this country while trying to ram “HR1” through which is likely to forever end any thought of a democratic republic once and for. all
That’s where the 2A comes in if we have too use it to clean them out. That’s why they are trying to convince us to protect our shelf by letting them have our guns. History books are full of that result. You don’t want to be in that situation unless your a snowflake that wants melted. Long live the republic.
This is wonderful news. Perhaps there is hope for our country yet.
No race is better than any other race and everyone should be treated the same! Anyone committing violence should go to jail and stay there until they see a judge! Anyone that destroys properties should stay in jail until they see a judge!
Culturally, people will be regimented to excel in education, sciences, the arts and sports. In a capitalist culture, they’ll thrive on the merits of their achievements. It doesn’t matter what race, gender or ‘species’ (?) you identify as, it only matters that you apply your talents to get ahead, and not incessantly whine to the government when you don’t.
George Floyd died of drug overdose! He was on Fellonell at time. You can’t say I can’t breath without breathing. Try it! It had been procedure for years putting knee on neck. The Officer put him in Police car and he busted right back out. High on Drugs! The Officer had him held with knee while calling for help. He was in Ambulance on way to Hospital when he died!. Welcome to our Wonderful News Service!
‘Welcome to our Wonderful News Service’, which has become more and more Pravda-like by the day.
What is wrong with these folks? Don’t they realize they are being targeted? They had better wise up and get on a good path like going to God in prayer. He will heal all. He has for me. He has changed my life for the better. BLM IS NOTHING BUT A TERRORIST GROUP LOOKINN FOR RECOGNITION. Something they aren’t likely to get from anyone since the are breaking all the laws including the 10 commandments that God set forth for all.
Fake! BLM never had 60% of Americans support!
George Floyd was a career criminal end of story.
The old saying of give them enough rope and they’ll hang themselves. Well here you go!
Unfortunately, that ‘rope’ is being tied around all our necks. Camp followers of the Nanny State Brigade are ministered to with carefully scripted platitudes to rally their ilk into voting booths solely for their benefit. As we’re able to discern from recent examples of that folly, those who do benefit will enrich and empower themselves exponentially, and they’re concentrated within government offices.
We’ll see about Chauvin at his trial which starts this week, I believe. All I know is the Hennepin County Medical Examiner said that Floyd died of an overdose of Fentanyl and Meth, enough to kill a horse. The defense will be that he was dying when they put him in the police cruiser and that it was the drugs that gave him shortness of breath.
BLM – The Organisation – is a Communist Organisation. .

Greg, you and l think allot alike! If any would take the time and make an honest effort to gather information that you, obviously, and l have found. The democrat party has gone full blown socialist, with their propaganda divisions, Big Tech and the MSM in both print and broadcast! Only gullible fools, ignorant of history, will fall for their anti-American drivel and hatred towards the greatest country the world has ever been blessed to have experienced! The left is following the Saul Allilinski’s book , “Rules for Radicals”, and Karl Marx’s “Communist Manifesto”, to the “T” as they say! Everything that has been happening to our country is a result of Marxism, and an incredibly maniacal drive to destroy American philosophy and the incredible wisdom of our God inspired “Founding Fathers”! Far sighted seers of a future, this country has been blessed to have experienced ever since our Declaration of Independence from Great Britton, to our sacred Constitution and Bill of Rights! And now power hungry tyrannical socialists/communists democrats want to change all that for the planned dictatorship they have now put in place through a corrupt rigged (don’t EVEN try to tell me otherwise!) election! The morons who voted for Xiden, and don’t EVEN try to tell me that Xiden got more votes than the democrats Messiah, Barack Insane Obama, and with a straight face tell me Xiden “won” the election is totally insulting! It was a co-ordenated effort from not only this countries socialist/communist democrats, but with the help and strong influence from the CCP, Iran, and their axis collaborators, out to destroy President Trump, because he stood up to their New (communist) World Order scheme! Maybe my grammar sucks, but you get the point…..l hope!
Until we agree that all lives matter (including unborn babies) we will never get anywhere as a nation. Even some age old religions are abandoning their fervently held beliefs.
Nothing from the left makes sense anymore. Actually the left never made any sense but now that the globalist communist have infiltrated the democrat party, they are crazy off the charts. I live in a state that does not mandate the mask wearing, but I think the liberals will keep wearing them for the rest of their lives as long as their commie leaders say they should. The masses are asses. Always have been always will be.
We are in big trouble if 50% still trust BLM, it is encouraging to see trust in local law enforcement go back up, but BLM is a communist organization with communist ideals and 50% either can’t see that or embrace that???
LISTEN UP….BLM took their CAUSE to an EXTREME LEVEL. MLK Jr Kept HIS INTEGRITY by Promoting PEACEFUL PROTESTS. BLM has turned Situations into a WAR ZONE. They Settle Things in the C ITY Sts NOT the C OURT Room. THEY have TAR NISHED Their REP. THEY MAKE the WHITE MAN Look GOOD. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
What’s the difference? The leadership of the BLM has made MILLIONS off of angry black people, and stupid white people . They are laughing all the way to the bank! Not exactly Marxist. What’s worse is that people will STILL gIving these con artists money!
BLM is a self-admitted marxist organization. Read a few of their websites.
BLM is a terrorist organization and the leader should be on trial for sedition.
George Floyd was SUICIDE BY COP!! Whether it was intentional or accidental is questionable but it was SUICIDE because HE CHOSE TO PUT THE FENTANYL IN HIS MOUTH TO HIDE IT!! Maybe he should have dealt with the consequences of having possession of the drugs and simply asked for rehab because if he had told the cop he was od’ing then that would have put the blame on the police officer if he hadn’t gotten him care. The fact is the ambulance was already called so they may have suspected he was on drugs and preemptively called them. NOT GUILTY!!!
The guy died in the hospital much later. That’s first hint cop didn’t kill him. Knee on the neck is a legitimate and indeed taught method for restraining out of control perps. And give Floyd some credit here, he was on drugs not doing himself any favors and passing bad checks or phony money. And your accusing the officer. Give the world and officer Chauvin a break.
Black Lives Matter is simply a terrorist group. Their cousins socialism and communism denigrate any freedoms which we share. Get rid of this group of ignorant, nasty, looking to harm others.
That’s because TIME AND TIME AGAIN, BLM have PROVEN that they DO NOT CARE FOR ALL BLACK AMERICANS!! When little and young black children are MURDERED BY BLACK CRIMINALS TRYING TO EARN STREET CRED, BLM was no where to be found! But when ONE OF THEIR PET THUGS WERE ARRESTED, there BLM was manufacturing evidence and biased propaganda! The ONLY THING to remember about BLM is, BLM ONLY CARE ABOUT THE LIVES OF BLACK CRIMINALS AND MAKING SURE THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH THEIR CRIMES WITHOUT ANY CONSEQUENCE WHATSOEVER!!!
BLM is a dangerous evil domestic terrorist organization, just like antifa, black panthers, naacp, splc and the DNC
BLM and Antifa are the same domestic terrorists. Just one is Marxists goons and the other Sanders and Soros. Both are MOPS. IRS take a look in their shenanigans doners and spending. Money Money Money and idiots to follow.
Black Looting Murderers (BLM)!
After seeing the entire video pf Floyd’s arrest…which the prosecution kept under wraps for an extended period of time…there was nothing that indicated that race had anything to do with it..in fact..the officer was very polite in trying to get him in the cruiser…and the video even shows Floyd was asking to be put on the ground…but unfortunately, none of this will matter…if they don’t throw the book at Chauvin…all hell will break loose…..again…which should totally not matter..but you know it will…especially, if it is televised…which I read someplace it will be….and the Democrats will have another distraction to keep people from watching what they will be doing…like dispersing this mass of immigrants somewhere in a neighborhood near you…or passing some gun grab law….anyway, they’ll be able to exploit it all over again….
The radical BLM Marxist are antiAmerican and hypocrites, it’s not about helping you it’s about you giving them your money to continue their lie, your better than they are give yourself more credit, Marxist, and socialism is all based on a lie! Be true to yourself and you’ll find the right path!
The KKK is racist but so is BLM and the people pushing White privileged are also racist I don’t see the reason for even asking what your race is on a job application it should just be for what qualifications is race should make a difference just who dos the job the best
Follow the money. Where is the money coming from for the BLM movement? Also always remember what the Bible says “you will know them by their works.” Please tell me about the good works that BLM is doing. Certainly they are not following the path that Martin Luther King told them to follow. Also has anyone heard that the autopsy revealed that George Floyd had enough fentanyl in his body to kill him?
If black lives matters when are the blacks going to quit killing each other?
Just like antifa there’s no leader ship no solutions to the problem of blacks and police authority so all they do now is riot and burn things BLM is just another fake movement to get the indoctrinated black people angry It’s going to take both side to come up with solutions eliminating law enforcement equals chaos
Hi Bonnie. BLM is a self-admitted marxist organization. Pull up a couple of their websites and learn about them. Read about their demands and if those demands aren’t met, their threats to burn America down.
Defunding our police, eliminating ICE – which the Biden admin has just about done with the Dems new power grabs making their ICE agents almost powerless and soon Biden’s promise to the dem party’s illegals, to OPEN OUR BORDERS will only make things much worse. Biden’s EO’s has been allowing his illegals to enter and be released even those who have the Covid-19 virus.
They aren’t looking for solutions, they’re adding to their voter base.
Was there a poll for how many people would like to see BLM held criminally accountable for the laws they have broken? Capital murder? Arson? Aggravated assault on police? They caused it. They should pay. Money given to the DNC should be recoverable as well. Democrats connected with the organization should also be held responsible. Let’s start with Maxine Waters and her incitement.
What did the BLM expect after they burned, rioted, assaulted, raped and murdered innocent American Citizens? I am just one American Citizen that has vowed to kill any BLM Thug member on sight! Just for the record, I never felt this way before the BLM Domestic Terrorist Organization decided to assault, rape and murder innocent Americans. So, you black Americans have a choice to make, become a valued member of our society or, continue on your path of wanton destruction. Personally, I don’t care which decision you make but, I hope that you don’t dismiss everything that you’ve enjoyed as an American Citizen!
BLM is a Marxist organization and not all black by any means.
lack Lives matter is a total disgrace, the person who started this movement is a total disgrace to the whole country, & all Americans thy need to be held accountable & liable for all damages they have done to any place of business, any ones personal property, any human being they hurt physically , thye are not above the law, & the person who started this movement need to go to jail
These RACIST terrorist blacks try to hide behind a bullshit heading of blm . They try to claim that blacks are being murdered at a rate 10 times as that of whites — total Bullshit -the facts prove its BS . These racist thugs don’t want EQUALITY they want SUPERIORITY. Get ready get organized
I think what stupid, young indoctrinated progressive white people need is to live in a country governed by blm!!!!
I would love watching them get their azzes handed to them on a daily basis by the those they worship!!!!
Sheep following sheep! plain and simple.
Black Lives Matter is nothing more than a two or three women who are Marxists Stirring up trouble and lining Their pockets with money extorted from corporations and not giving any of it to black communities they are responsible for inciting riots and actually burning black business to the ground.
Floyd was a very questionable character who had a rap sheet like a daily newspaper in size and if he had listened to the officers and obeyed he wouldnt be dead. . .and the criminals (BLM) are the bad guys here. Not a law enforcement officer. . .Flllowing law enforcement instructions, not worrying about being macho can take young people a long way. . .NOT BEING ARRESTED IS A WAY TO NOT FINDING ONESELF DEAD !
Meantime Babbit died and hardly any noise can be heard about her dead.
Don’t wait today MUST sue Nancy Pelosi for gross negligence causing the wrongful dead of Ashli Babbit in the Capitol riot, she was unarmed, who gave those orders to the the Capitol police to shot an unarmed person without first giving prior notice of that they will be shooting at them , violating the law.
No one is above the Law not even the POTUS, Nancy fired the experienced Capitol chief of police days before the riots and placed an inexperienced person to be in charge, refused the offer from the POTUS TRUMP to have 10,000 troops to stop riots in DC, there are multiple videos that show how the Capitol Police let the rioters in the Capitol and also guide them to the chambers then inside to ambush them and gun down an innocent person.
We The People want the Law to be upheld even to everyone, no one is above the LAW.
Now the say the Capitol police that shot Babbit is in hiding who is helping him to do so, and why they haven’t open an investigation!!!.
It was proven Floyd died from a drug overdose, not the kneeling on his neck. .BLM has become just a marxist mob, thugs used by the democrat elites to target and threaten any conservatives who refuse to match in lockstep with their communist agenda. ANTIFA serves the same purpose but is just less controlled.
BLM met its Waterloo in the battle for freedom waged by American patriots not worried about standing up to BLM bullies and extortionists.
maybe the people have recognized their thoughts were driven to marxist attitudes and they are not comfortable with that posture. that is one giant step forward inperserving our country as a democracy and a republic. people kill to get here from other nations………why not enjoy what we have and throw water on the three ladies that started the blm movement. they are quite wealthy now and they like the harvest of many peoples torching, lootin, killing. doing drugs, destroying property, intimidating innocents (children) , and being real a..holes………nothing they did was peaceful and their leaders are sitting on a small fortune and guess what they are not sharing………..too bad you listen to the wrong pipe piper…….are you sure you really had a problem with racists attitudes…………….everything isopen to negotation
Good! They need to wake up and see that Democrats aren’t out for anyone’s best interest but their own.
The most concerning part of this story is that 50% of Americans still trust Black Lives Matter.
Sorry, George Floyd was a criminal, and under a warrant. He was not just laying there either he had been fighting beforehand and was still trying to get up, not surrendering.
Fake polls?????? I simply do not believe that 50 % of American believe they can trust BLM. Simply the results of FEAR OF BLM.
So, 50% of those surveyed still think BLM is more worthy of trust than police? I’m trying to remember the last time the police intentally burned down cities and stole everything that was and wasn’t nailed down! Nor do I remember the Police telling the people they were doing it for the good of the population and all the destruction was done in peace! And the really sad part is the stupid population believed that BLM was on the right side! Oh well I imagine those questioned were democrats and they love the idea of destroying of America.
BLM ANTIFA Dems are all racists haters liars. You reap what you sow and the “lazy/irresponsible people who demand being taken care of instead of working are now going to get what they deserve. Unfortunately those of us who have worked hard(of ANY color) all their lives will pay also
The Democrat elites have become power drunk control freaks.
Remember you decent hard working Americans of fair nature that is almost all of you that you have a very large majority.
The elites detest you with a phycopathic evil mind.
The conservative media make a big mistake by saying that socialists hate Trump.
More than any other emotion they FEAR him.
Trump knows every hideous corrupt bone in their bodies.
Rise and stop their drive for a military dictatorship or like Argentina some people will have to eat their pets to survive another day.
A great country is on the brink of ruin and China is watching dripping saliva.
Unite and move as quickly as possible.
