FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Nearly half of Americans do not trust that justice will be served after police officers kill civilians, according to a new poll.
The poll was conducted by Huffington Post and YouGov days after unarmed black teenager Michael Brown was fatally shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
Forty-five percent of respondents said they do not trust the US justice system to investigate police shootings properly, while 37 percent do. The remaining 19 percent are undecided.
Separately, 43 percent of Americans said the police use lethal force too frequently, as opposed to 32 percent who said they do not.
Responses were divided starkly along racial lines, with 69 percent of African Americans saying they believed the police use lethal force too frequently. Thirty five percent of white Americans expressed the same view.
In addition, two thirds of blacks do not trust the justice system to investigate police killings, compared with 40 percent of whites.
A 2013 Pew Research Center poll showed blacks are much more likely than whites to say they receive unfair treatment from the police and the court system in the US.
Seven out of 10 blacks surveyed by Pew said members of the African-American community were treated less fairly than whites.
Eighteen-year-old Michael Brown was shot multiple times and killed Saturday by police in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, a predominantly African-American town. Since then, protests over the fatal shooting have been held in St. Louis every night.
Brown’s death harkens back to the racially-charged case of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager who went out one night in Sanford, Florida in 2012 to buy candy and was shot to death by a white neighborhood watch volunteer. His shooter was later acquitted of murder charges.
