Is anyone suggesting they were literally saying "the police are actually rad if you think about it" or are we upset at bullshit concern trolling? Literally any major advocate for abolishing police could tear through these supposedly good faith concerns in a minute, but instead of inviting an advocate on to have a productive conversation they brought on a liberal writer to bitch about how online mobs are so sensitive that they can't do real journalism anymore.
lol nothing about that is concern trolling -- it's "here's a poll, here are plausible explanations for it"

What are they going to say? "No, being a cop is not actually a job that pays well and that you can get without an expensive degree?" There are barely even takes here: it's observations about the situation that complicate it a bit beyond "well we should just have no cops," a position that most people don't support.
