A new Poll shows that popular support for Black Lives Matter (BLM) had plunged during the 18 months since the group bounded on the scene when George Floyd died during police custody, according to our special guest Michael Letts, a police officer, a firefighter, and a 9/11 first responder.
According to The Police Tribune and the polling organization Civiqs, 52% of people polled said they supported Black Lives Matter in May of 2020. But this month that number has dropped to 44%. What’s more, opposition to BLM has risen from 28% to 44%. That’s near twice the number of people who now oppose the group.
Joining us with additional insight on these shifting numbers, is our guest, Michael Letts.
Q&A:
- Welcome, Office Letts. Let’s first look at the number of people who oppose Black Lives Matter. What is that?
Answer: Part of the reason is that once people got past the nice-sounding name and learned that this was an ultra-radical group espousing the values of Communism far more than our Republic, they vehemently opposed the group. There are probably far more people opposing them than the numbers show.
- Explain what you mean by more people opposing BLM than the numbers show.
Answer: Think about it. If you say you are anti-Black Lives Matter, it sounds oke you are against Black people. It’s kind of like the old accusation of, “When are you going to stop beating your wife?” If you say I don’t beat her, it’s like saying you once did.
- So, does this mean that people are becoming more pro-police?
Answer: Absolutely. And that brings us to the second ludicrous trean of Defund the Police movement.
- Expand upon that.
Answer: The Defund the Police movement was modeled after Adolph Hitler’s Brown Shirt movement. It was a bunch of thugs who Hitler wanted to be in control to overthrow legitimate authority. One German cave it, the rest become history. Fortunately for the US, people snapped out of that delusion quickly. Some of the most ardent defectors of that movement are liberals.
- Liberals? How’s that?
Answer: Once liberals in their recently defunded cities so crime rise in their areas, they understandably got scared and wanted to restore police protection. No one, liberal or conservative, likes to call 9/11 and be told there’s no one available to respond to their emergency.
- You founded an or organization called InVest USA. Tell us about your non-profit group and what you do for the community.
Answer: We provide bulletproof vests to police since about 90% of police forces do not offer vests to their police officers.
- Where may we get more information on InVest USA?
Answer: At https://InvestUSA.org/
GUEST: Michael Letts is the CEO and Founder of In-Vest USA, a national grassroots non-profit organization helping hundreds of communities provide thousands of bulletproof vests for their police forces through educational, public relations, sponsorship, and fundraising programs.
