On the contrary a poll is about the best possible way to make generalizations. It uses random sampling to make estimates about a population. Otherwise the loudest get all the attention, certainly a big issue when it comes to cops lately.
I guess polls might miss homeless people, though there aren't enough to swing the numbers noticeably. I don't see why they'd hate cops especially.
I wonder how incarcerated people in Japan feel about cops. Have you seen ho they treat prisoners?
- lazyasciiart 7y agoHomeless people would be more likely to have a negative view of cops because cops arrest them for loitering/sleeping in public/being a nuisance? And polls might not include incarcerated people, yea. That will make a bigger difference in the US stats (0.65% of the population incarcerated, vs Japans 0.05%).
