Police and the protesters are much different from each other in terms of politics and demographics—and these underlying differences over identity, politics and policy are creating a toxic and potentially dangerous dynamic as the protests continue.
The survey, conducted by Pew in conjunction with the National Police Research Platform, was a national poll of officers in both police and sheriff’s departments with at least 100 officers. Pew interviewed 7,917 officers from 54 police and sheriff’s departments across the country between May 19 and Aug. 14, 2016 .
In a separate Pew Research survey conducted in 2016, just after the poll among police officers was completed, a nationally representative sample of 4,538 adults was asked a number of the same questions as the officers to allow for a direct comparison between the officers’ opinions and those of the general public.
The letter was in response to events sponsored by Black Lives Matter to promote racial justice in public schools.LeCount relied on interviews of 65,485 nonpolice and 546 officers in the U.S. conducted between 1972 and 2014 as part of the General Social Survey. In GSS surveys, Americans were asked what their occupation was. LeCount, as he describes in his paper, thought this data was useful because officers weren’t being asked questions in the context of working in law enforcement .
The 2016 Pew survey broke down some responses by gender and race, which we refer to here. The views of Hispanic officers didn’t fit a pattern — they aligned with the views of white officers on some issues and with black officers on others. A clear majority of Hispanic officers , like their white counterparts, viewed instances when police have killed black Americans as isolated incidents.
