Public becoming more concerned about police behavior

Washington Post -More than 2 in 3 Americans — a whopping 69 percent — said that Floyd's killing represents a broader problem in law enforcement, while just 29 percent say it's an isolated incident. That's a dramatic shift compared to reactions to the 2014 police killings of unarmed black men in Ferguson, Mo, and New York, according to our colleagues Scott Clement and Dan Balz. “Six years ago, 43 percent described those deaths as indicative of broader problems in policing while 51 percent saw those killings as isolated incidents,” our colleagues write.
