Ridgewood NJ, 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 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.
Michael Letts, a police officer, a firefighter, and a 9/11 first responder gave us some insight into the polling numbers .
Letts founded an organization called InVest USA, which provides bulletproof vests to police since about 90% of police forces do not offer vests to their police officers.
Letts says, “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.”
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.”
Letts goes on , “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. No one, liberal or conservative, likes to call 9/11 and be told there’s no one available to respond to their emergency.”
Its interesting that all the riots looting and protests stopped after the the election.
Black lives matter…. every 4 years when Democrats need to use them.
Of course it has, looting, shooting, and shaking down people is not a sustainable political model.
“Popular support for BLM has plunged”. Not what radical lefties want to hear. They love BLM excrement running over our cities rioting and looting and looking for mythical white supremacists.
Result: the majority of rational, logical people are becoming aware of BLM bullying and their violent, intimidating antics. Then garbage movements like BLM get crushed like an ant under an elephant’s foot. See ya BLM!
They, and cheating, are only needed at election time.
Beta males and drugged out, depressed women still love BLM. And of course upper middle class suburban, white retirees who spent their lives looking down on blacks and immigrants.
Here’s my prediction: once betas get into workforce and realize HRs won’t hire or promote them because they are male and white, they’ll become the new face of anti-black racism. As for depressed women and retirees – they are all talk. As soon as a BLM crowd rolls up to suburbia to take their houses away, they’ll be first to call evil cops for help.
Media lies are responsible for yesterday’s massacre.
From what we see is most of them are trouble makers.
Thanks all lives matter!
“Its interesting that all the riots looting and protests stopped after the the election.

Well, they’ve raised all the money they need from the guilty whites and corporate a$$ kissers, and the lawn sign people.
Black Lives MATTER. Is that all they want, to MATTER? I would think they would want to have black lives THRIVE.
But to do that they would have to acknowledge a different type of systemic racism, the REAL one, the one foretold by Moynihan at the start of the process 50 plus years ago. The systemic racism of the teachers unions and an educational system that has failed blacks for years. The feel good programs that have stuffed the pockets of the usual rent seekers but have yielded broken families, reduced or no expectations, and ruined lives.
If these systems had worked, blacks with a decent education could easily get great jobs and have meaningful lives.
But then, what would happen to the grievance INDUSTRY?
It was all a set up. They think they were smart. They just 30 sneaky slicks, but we all know what happened.
This was all definitely set up talk about timing give me a damn break please stop your bullshit, and especially your thumbs down, I want to put my thumb up your ass you damn fake liberals pull your head out of your ass. Black Lives Matter my ass Soll. What a bunch of phony bullshit this president is a joke just like the vice president this is all set up you watch this guy is going to resigned because of medical reasons and the second puppet will take over please stop your bullshit.
Response #10 is spot on.
Sleepy Joe gets replaced by Pete. Cackler gets a seat on the Supreme Court.
Wait until the verdicts come in for the Arbery trial.
It doesn’t matter… BLM has severed its purpose.
White hating, Racist, Critical Race Theory is being taught in school to your children.
Police are losing funding and are being vilified and openly attacked.
Prosecutors are not charging criminals and crime is rampant in San Fransisco and other cities.
Congress is passing Racist legislation to give money to blacks
etc.
etc.
In fact, it’s probably better for the BLM movement for it to fade away and morph into something less conspicuous and more insidious.
Abigail Spanberger (D-VA)- “Nobody elected him to be FDR, they elected him to be normal and stop the chaos….”
Guess what ?
Sleepy Joe has created even more chaos in his first 10 months.
Donald getting warmed up in the bullpen.
Since BLM began marching and made a martyr out of a drugged up convicted armed robber – violent crime has broken records everywhere in the country. 10,000 additional people were murdered over the last two years.
