In our sample of police officers, we found a force that's overwhelmingly male and young, more politically affiliated than the overall population (particularly on the Republican side) and one that's more favorable of @realDonaldTrump. morningconsult.com/2020/07/23/pol…
Police officers are less likely than the average voter to see well-documented systemic racism in policing, with BIG gaps in white police households and police households of color. morningconsult.com/2020/07/23/pol…
