Large majority of Black Maryland residents support ''refund the police'' program |
2021-11-27 |
![]() The poll, which was provided by an outside group aligned with Hogan, shows that 64 percent of likely black voters in the state "strongly support" the governor’s proposal to "provide greatly increased funding to state and local police agencies," while 24 percent "somewhat support" the policy. Hogan’s initiative enjoys similar support across racial lines—89 and 74 percent of white and Hispanic voters support it, respectively. Those numbers contradict state Democrats’ criticism of the plan. In addition to the proposed funding increase, Hogan introduced two other bills. One would significantly increase penalties for those who use or possess illegal firearms. The other would compel the state’s criminal sentencing commission to "track and publish detailed information on the sentences that are handed down by judges for Democratic state house speaker Adrienne Jones immediately accused the Governor of trying to "politicize public safety." The Democratic state senate president called the refund the police program "divisive ...politicians call things divisivewhen when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive,they're principled... rhetoric that would not make communities safer." Looking at these most recent poll results, however, it appears that the Democrats in Maryland are yet again severely misreading the room. The margins on this aren’t even close. Support for the plan crosses all racial lines and those who "strongly support" vastly outnumber those who "somewhat support." And why wouldn’t people be willing to give this a try? The victims of the latest spate of murders included two maiden of tender yearss aged five and thirteen, as well as a 69-year-old woman who was stabbed to death inside of a church. The gangs of Baltimore are so far out of control that it’s difficult to describe. The Wire was a documentary |

#2 Those Black Maryland residents who support "refund the police" are actually Black white supremacists. Their opinion counts for nothing. |

#1 Could it be? Statistically the Black-American Community has more to fear from its own Black-American community members than Police? |
