text: Young whites divide on handling violence by, against police | South Florida Times
  WASHINGTON (AP)- Young people across racial and ethnic lines are more likely to say they trust Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump to handle instances of police violence against African Americans. But young whites are more likely to say they trust Trump to handle violence committed against the police.
  The poll also suggests most young adults think requiring police to wear body cameras would help reduce violence by police. Things to know from the poll about young Americans' views about police and the Black Lives Matter movement:
  About six in ten young adults overall say violence by the police and violence against the police both are very or extremely serious problems in the United States. But views vary among those of different racial and ethnic backgrounds.
  Seven in ten young Americans say they think requiring on-duty police officers to wear body cameras would help reduce violence by police against civilians. But young African-Americans are somewhat less enthusiastic about the idea, with just over six in ten saying that it would be effective.
  On the other hand, both African-Americans (68 percent) and Latinos (66 percent) are more likely than whites (51 percent) to say requiring a special prosecutor to investigate cases where police kill or seriously injure civilians would be effective at preventing such deaths. Overall, 57 percent of young people think so. Fifty-six percent of all young people say setting stricter criteria for police use of deadly force would be effective at reducing instances of violence by the police, including 68 percent of blacks and Hispanics, 61 percent of Asian-Americans and just 48 percent of whites.
  Young Americans across racial and ethnic groups are more likely to trust Clinton than Trump to handle police violence against African-Americans. That's by a 61 percent-to-five percent margin among young blacks, 58 percent to six percent among young Latinos, 56 percent to eight percent among Asian-Americans, and 44 percent to 20 percent among young whites.
  About a quarter in each group don't trust either candidate to handle the issue well. But among young whites, more trust Trump than Clinton to handle attacks against the police, 45 percent to 28 percent. Young African-Americans (54 percent to 12 percent), Latinos (45 percent to 15 percent) and Asian-Americans (45 percent to 20 percent) are more likely to trust Clinton than Trump on this.
  But among young whites in particular, and among significant minorities of young Asian-Americans and Latinos, there are feelings that the rhetoric of the movement encourages violence against the police – more than six in ten whites, more than four in ten Asian-Americans and Latinos and just two in ten African Americans think the movement's rhetoric encourages violence against the police.
