Abstract
During the 2020 BLM protests, liberals and conservatives appeared polarized regarding police reform. In a representative sample of US adults, we found that, despite significant effects of ideology, liberals and conservatives agreed more than disagreed about which police reform policies they want. Results suggest that polarization might be exaggerated.
