This is great! I think the BLM movement has helped this happen. And then the numbers. Folks wanted to yell across the nation that somehow the black folks were being shot daily for no reason. It's backfiring. And I think Trump is helping with this a little bit too. It looks like it has been skyrocketing upwards.

Gallup: Respect for Police Nears All-Time High

(CNSNews.com) - The percentage of Americans who say they have a “great deal” of respect for the police in their area has climbed to 76 percent—just one percentage point shy of the all-time high of 77 percent recorded 49 years ago, according to a Gallup poll released today.

Respect for the police has increased over the past year among Americans of differing racial groups, ideologies, political affiliations and age, according to data published in a Gallup analysis.

Since 1965, Gallup has asked this question nine times: “How much respect do you have for the police in your area—a great deal, some, or hardly none?”

The first time Gallup asked it--in a survey conducted April 2-7, 1965—70 percent said they had a great deal of respect for the police, 22 percent said they had some respect, and 4 percent said they had hardly any, and 4 percent said they had no opinion.
