Of course Black people want cops. They also want capitalism. Polls are
problematic, however. Just consider:
Though many African Americans have told pollsters they support the
struggles of undocumented immigrants, others are protesting for stricter
enforcement of immigration laws...a poll by the Pew Research Center
found that many blacks were hostile toward illegal immigrants. The sore
point with them was jobs. They blamed illegal immigrants for worsening
the dire plight of young, poor African-American males. Recent studies by
researchers at Harvard, Columbia, and Princeton, and the Urban League’s
annual State of Black America report confirm that black males suffer a
jobless rate double and triple that of white males in some urban areas.
Their unemployment numbers are also substantially higher than those of
Latino males. Some economists and employment studies finger illegal
immigration as a big cause of the economic slippage of low and
marginally skilled young black males.

Socialists don't allow majority opinion to mold our politics. If we did,
we'd stop being socialists. (Of course, I am not talking about polls
that show millions supporting socialism when they have Sweden in mind
rather than Cuba.)
