Mesa Residents Feel Safe and Have a Positive Perception of Police Depart...

OK. PERCEPTION is far different from Reality.
What this "short-form production" from city-owned and taxpayer-funded Mesa Channel 11 does not tell viewers in the headline subject is the source - an "automated telephone [Robot-call]" survey with 811 responses in a city of more than 525,000.
It was comissioned by the Mesa Police Department, make that paid for, to produce the results they wanted the public to consume.
Telephone surveys have a bad reputation for good reasons.
They are unreliable and easily manipulated.
Furthermore, this is the third attempt in a gang-buster media barrage on June 3, 2021to control the news - this time with hand-held microphones "on-the-street". Believe it if you want to . . .
