And a full 57 percent of Hispanics and blacks polled said that they felt safe around police, with only 37 percent saying that they felt “mostly anxious.”

Concerning the recent riots in Milwaukee, 48 percent said that the unrest was mainly because of a lack of respect for the law, while 37 percent attributed the unrest to general anger at the lack of opportunities for black people over the past few decades.
