Over the past year, the official narrative has been that police are bad and that we should defund or abolish the police. A recent poll [1] shows us that NYC Democratic primary voters resoundingly disagree. Within this group of voters, it difficult to overlook that the groups most seek more police include self-identified “Blacks” with school-aged children who are non-college graduate earning lower wages. Among those responding, those who most often claim that police should be kept off the subways are self-identified “Whites” who don’t have school-aged children who are college graduates earning higher wages. That said, all groups other than those describing themselves as “very liberal” or “under 45” seek more police, not fewer.
