Poll: Most Americans Disagree with Trump's Approach to Police Reform

VOA News

   A public opinion poll shows that most Americans disagree with U.S.
   President Donald Trump's approach to police reform, a view that has
   gained momentum since May 25, when George Floyd, an African American
   man, died after being held down by a white police officer.

   Trump said when signing an executive order on policing last month he
   "strongly oppose(s) the radical and dangerous efforts to defund,
   dismantle and dissolve our police departments, especially now when
   we've achieved the lowest recorded crime rates in recent history."

   He added: "Americans know the truth. Without police, there is chaos.
   Without law, there is anarchy. And without safety, there is
   catastrophe."
