\n Talk about out-of-touch pols. According to a new Gallup survey, nearly nine out of 10 respondents \u2014 and more than eight of 10 African Americans \u2014 oppose having police spend less time in their areas. Yet Democratic politicians have been racing to \u201cdefund the police\u201d all the same.<\/p>\n

The survey found 19 percent of the public wants cops to spend more time in their areas; 67 percent are OK with their current presence. Only 14 percent want fewer cops.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s similar for African Americans: 20 percent want more cops; 61 percent are good with the current level. Just 19 percent prefer cops to spend less time in their areas.<\/p>\n

Among Hispanics, 83 percent want the same or more policing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to understand why: Minority groups are the overwhelming victims of crime. Take away cops and they\u2019re the ones who\u2019ll suffer most. In the city, 88 percent of murder and non-negligent manslaughter victims were black or Hispanic last year \u2014 as were 74 percent of rape victims.<\/p>\n

People want better policing, the poll also shows \u2014 with respect and diligence. But that\u2019s not \u201cdefunding,\u201d as Democrats across the country have proposed. It\u2019s not slashing the NYPD budget by $1 billion, as Mayor Bill de Blasio has done. It\u2019s not \u201credirecting\u201d funds, as Joe Biden has said. If anything, it\u2019s more money for better training.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t take a criminologist to see that fewer cops \u2014 and fewer resources for them \u2014 mean less safety, more crime and more victims.<\/p>\n

Americans clearly know that. Why not Dems?\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
