Travel through rural America sometime. The working class of America are fairly poor but still overwhelmingly support the police.

You know you don’t have to say it in so many words, “rural working class America” = poor white people. Of course they love the racist police (who used to catch slaves and enforce Jim Crow). And I say that as someone who grew up in rural America. I just happen to have read a few history books.
