Poll: 78.2% of respondents lose confidence in 'American rule of law'

Tyre Nichols, an African-American man, died on January 10 after being brutally beaten by police in Memphis, Tennessee, sparking nationwide protests and riots.

According to a CGTN Think Tank online poll conducted on American social media platforms, 84.9 percent of respondents think that the United States has not successfully curbed police brutality, and 78.2 percent even have less faith in the rule of law and the assertions of human rights made by the U.S. government.

In recent years, there have been numerous incidents of police brutality in the United States. Among the victims, the proportion of ethnic minorities, such as African Americans, is significantly higher than that of whites.

Although the local police released videos to respond that the five police officers are also black after the incident ignited massive anger, 80.8 percent of respondents on the Internet still believe that the incident reflects racial inequality in the U.S. has become more and more serious, and 85.4 percent think the current system in the U.S. cannot protect the rights and interests of ethnic minorities anymore, according to the poll.

The hypocrisy of "American human rights" is once again exposed after the fatal police assault of a black man. As many as 78.2 percent of respondents express that they lose their confidence in "American rule of law" and "American human rights" asserted by the U.S. government.
