The silent, sensible portion of the populace is much larger than current screeching suggests. [LawEnforcementToday] While the slogan "Black Lives Matter" is seemingly being shoved down everyone’s throats at every turn, whether it’s logging on to Facebook, or your Fitbit app, or emails, the slogan is not quite as popular as the more inclusive "All Lives Matter", according to a Rasmussen survey of 1,000 likely voters.
