“A majority of likely U.S. voters believes the country is experiencing a war on police and that politicians should enact policy classifying attacks on cops as hate crimes, according to a new poll.

According to Rasmussen, 66% of likely U.S. voters opposed those measures”. (Fox News. Read more here.)
